Default Knocking sound at low RPM

I just developed a knocking sound at low RPM when the engine is up to temp. Dealer said it might be a cam -- anyone else? I'm assured with 55k on the odometer. Have not done the TB service yet. Thanks

You sure it's not your woman trying to get into the car as you drive away?

2 possible things
timing belt tensioner or hydraulic lifters due to low oil pressure

check your oil pressure first
also cam adjusters make nise but like rattle
