Ok on the tools u got it.
So when u are slipping the feeler gauge in between does it slide in n out freely or u feel a slight tug.
What do you mean by right tools? I'm using angled feeler gauges regular socket set and I have a craftsman max access ratchet and socket set I use to tighten the lock nut so I can keep a flat head screw driver while tightening it. I checked the clearance before and after tightening the nut. Thanks for the tip on turning the motor I'll remove them when I do it tomorrow.
Do you mean bend the feeler gauge?

Ummm I seee
So maybe u left them too loose that's what's causing the knock.
Does the idle sound erratic
Well redid the job, everything is fine now, no knocks... That job is horrible. Never again do I want to do....
Ya I'm glad it's all back to normal. I was certainly a bit alarmed when I saw all the knock counts yesterday!
Here is my most recent power graph:
This was last night, hitting just above 13 psi. Today I did some more logging, and Vit has it up to ~16 psi in 4th gear now, so it's actually a little higher than this. The car feels incredible! Pulls very nicely, gets to 100 before you even realize. Also, today while doing the logging it was during a trip to and from the capital of DE, about 45 mins from my house, and even hitting 16 psi in 4th I recorded not a single knock the entire drive. Pretty awesome considering my old log setup knocked at least once every time I hit any serious boost in high rpm. This setup just flows so much better is so much better for the motor!
