The beginning of the end

Adjust rocker arms replace the lock nuts they can only be tightened 3 times before they will rattle loose and check make sure no studs pulled out of the head for adjustment i do 1/2to3/4 of a turn not the full turn and half like factory they will make a little noise but runs better if you dont want noise 1 turn will do fine

[@HuntingDownAdventure]

Well thank you for the advice

Probably a wheel bearing, I also just had to get mine fixed.

[@HuntingDownAdventure]

Ain’t a wheel bearing it would not make that noise when the vehicle is stationary but thank you for trying

Tighten the rockers properly

[@HuntingDownAdventure]

Nobody has touched the rockers in the last 1000 miles I drove it and before that I drug it out of a field where it has sat for 15 years the piston ring also ain’t seating and seal no more so there is so much blow by it’s unbearable the motor after that developed a knock. And the funny thing about it it I always keep my fluids topped off

[@pavementpariah7342]

@@HuntingDownAdventurethat's a valve tap, not a rod knock. It's tapping at twice the speed of the engine. I'd put money on a bad cam lobe/lifter, bent pushrod, or a pulled stud in the head.

@@pavementpariah7342 Except the camshaft spins at HALF the speed of the engine/crankshaft. Not "twice the speed". Just say that you don't understand how a four-stroke engine works next time.

Alright we will find out

You know I thought something sounded off about what he said thank you
