iam ruling out a rod knock. since it's emnation from the timing cover.

i got new oem timing tensioner and idler pulley. didn't have time to pull it off yet but will tomorrow.

i was tapping on the timing cog trying to get it off so maybe i did move it(doubt it).

Sounds like a valve slapping the piston. Idk.

Have you pulled the valve cover yet?

[zach-Ka]

I would agree with this. Sounds like my sohc when a valve was hitting the piston. Or possibly a dry lifter..

[supersayianjim]

^^ so in either case what is the remedy??> anything i can do not pulling the head??

Step one would be remove Valve cover and look to see if anything looks out of order.

start simple with the valve cover and get back to us.
