dirtlord420 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 first off i only hear it when i hit the gas. also it sounds like its coming from the head. its kinda of a fast rattle. it only has 103,xxx mi. am thinking maybe bad gas or vavle? doesnt sound like a rod knock. any ideas?
Spokes Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 is it a rattle or valve tap? mine gets a valve tap sometimes... once spring comes i gonna check the valve clearance on 'em.
dirtlord420 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 kinda sounds like a tap. how hard is it to adj. those?
chunks6067 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 same thing here but i diagnosed a wrist pin only because i for the life of me could not tell what valve it was
dirtlord420 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 it seems to do this off and on. it got real loud then it got quite then i couldnt hear it any more

88 Beast Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 kinda sounds like a tap. how hard is it to adj. those? If your engine is 4.0, I believe they are not adjustable. Rocker arm is torqued to spec. on stud and thats it. You might have a lifter that is bleeding off causing taping noise.
dirtlord420 Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 i found out that it only does it when it get to operating temp, and has been driven for awhile.
