Well my engine has a knock to it. It only knocks whenever I turn it on and it hasn't been running for a while, and when I'm hitting around 4k RPM. It also does this a little whenever I'm in second gear(automatic tranny) around 3.5k RPM and I'm letting of the throttle. It doesn't knock during idle, or as loud. Does anybody have any ideas? The knocking is coming from where the valve cover is and I want to just take it off and see what I find but I'm a little short on money, so your help is appreciated.

valve timing, valve lash, and ignition timing are all different things.
valve lash is the slack between the lifter, valve stem, and the cam lobe. they measure the gap and shim accordingly, you can DIY but you need a couple special tools. -------------------- |
