Engine knocks. Understatement.
Set the rocker shafts. Minimum clearance.
Put in 1200 pushrods. Could tell a difference in head noise after but changed this knock not one bit.
Chain tensioners replaced. No change.
Noise changes slightly with clutch depressed. Worst at steady 16-1800 then release the throttle. Can actually feel the knocking in pegs.
Can only think bearings have play. Possibly rear main bearing? Can I check for rear bearing play without pulling engine?
Engine runs amazing with no hesitation. No surging. Doesn’t burn oil. Just sounds so bad once warm people actually ask if engine is failing.
Any thoughts appreciated.
