I had the same thing with my gto' sounded like it was coming from inside the rocker cover.
Unbeknown to me it was the big ends. The knocking sound trvels up in the engine and makes it seem like its top end trouble.
The obvious thing i went for was lush ajusters/tappets Well' £200 latter and still the same thing,
30 miles after that i found out the real problem driving down the 25 when my car locked up lost half its engine not to metion all its oil down the road.
big end where shot.
my advice would be.... not to start the engine and have your big end done mate.

p.s the sound from mine was like wacking two big ass ball bearings together like short but fast sound. mine did it all the time tho' didnt stop under load like yours so you mite be ok.

good luck fella hope you get it sorted.
