ungodly ticking noise

So I just put on the cosmo racing wai probably about 4-5 days ago. Everything was fine and then the 2nd day I had it after the car would warm up they engine started ticking, with the hood open it appears to be coming from the top of the engine almost around the fuel injector area.

In any case i ignored it because the car needs an oil change and thought it was related to that. I still havent gotten an oil change but the ticking has now become a very loud knock even on cold start up.

When i was at a stop light the car revved up to 4k and did not rev back down so i shut off the car and waited a few minutes and started it back up...it was a very rough idle and then it cleared up and here comes the ungodly knocking noise again.

Please tell me its just because the oils dirty and i need to change it...god forbid it be a lifter or something.
