This sucks My car all of a sudden has a kiss of death. It was running great then all of a sudden it feels like its running on 4cyl. (Its an 8cyl) I've checked the spark plugs/wires, distributer, choke, timing and fuel filter. Everything was fine. Then I started it up and lo and behold I hear a cling cling cling... I put my hand on the drivers side valve cover and you can feel it knocking. What can I do to fix it (besides get a new engine)??? Its an LG4 P.S. Could it be the camshaft and lifters wore out?? |
Take off the driver's side valve cover and see if there's anything loose. Sounds like it could be a loose rocker issue. |
Yep, one cylinder can make a small block really sick. Look for a rocker arm not working right and go from there. |
how many miles does this car and engine have on it?? have you ever readjusted the valve lash before?? |
I know this sounds too simple, but check your oil level and oil color for other problems, a chocolate milk color is very bad. I would not start it up again untill you find out whats wrong. Hopefully the noise is something loose under the valve cover and not an engine problem. |
