I'd lean toward a valve problem. A broken rod tends to make much bigger noises......and a bigger mess too !!
Flip a coin for which cover comes off first. I guess the bottom one would be a little easier but I really think the problem is going to be on the top. Of course, if a valve beat up on the piston, both covers will have to come off anyway.
Wonder if there is any chance of a broken starter mechanism jamming the flywheel ??
