Gotcha, how can I check those? I know I obviously need to remove the valve cover, do the cams have to come out as well? What do I need to look for there?Quote:

n for the rod bearing the oil pan has too come off
Ok thanks!
Little update on my goofy noise, it's not an accessory as I removed the belt yesterday, started the car, but be noise was still there. At this point I'm leaning towards a bent or sticky/leaky valve. A very basic test suggested that it could be that and after talking to some people it really doesn't seem to be coming from the bottom end. But I'm gonna get a leak down test done here ASAP. Aside from all this I'm still 80% sure I'll go racing Friday anyway and hope for the best lol since it's been going on so long anyways. After that I'll probably put the car down for a bit and work on getting it actually fixed.
well gl man i know if i hadnt raced that same night i heard the weird noise from my motor i prolly would still be out there roaming the streets :paper:Quote:
