Uh Oh !! Bad knocking !!
Well, boys (and any gals paying attention, too), I apparently am the luckiest dude around. Feeling so lucky, in fact, that I bought Mega Millions tickets on the way home.
This evening, I pulled my driver-side valve cover. Remember I said it sounded top-endish on the knocking?? I'm not sure if I posted it or not, but my feeling also was that the knocking was coming from the driver side.
It took me about 2 seconds to realize the issue. Take a look at the rocker for the no. 1 exhaust valve (!). That's an easy fix... Bullet dodged.
Well, maybe ... What could have caused this to happen?? Not sure if those are used (fatigued?) rockers, or ... ???
I'm also going to upload pics of all eight rockers. What's the significance of all those numbers stamped in the rockers??
Thanks All !!!
