My 98 mustang cobra was being stored and occasionally driven by my daughter. It started clattering at1800 rpm. When she checked the oil it was 3.5 qts low. There is no evidence of it burning oil or of a leak. I don't know how long it was low. She changed the oil and it still has the noise, it sounds like the top end in the right side. Any thoughts?

Thatt's an awful lot of oil. Hopefully it might be just some lifter noise. You might try an additive to clean the oil. I would also think of doing a complete service and check up on the Mustang.

TIMING IS ADJUSTED BY THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT SO IT SHOULD'NT NEED ADJUSTING.ODDS ARE THAT YOU CAN'T GET RID OF EXHAUST FAST ENOUGH DUE TO A PLUGGED CONVERTER.
check oil level.also check color in oil.if that is good the lifters have gotten dry and make noise when pushing up the rocker arms.very common for that year.
you have a rod knocking this is a serious problem the more you drive it the worse it will get it could also be a warped push rod but thats a slim chance
