Re: High Knock in my Talon

When I replaced them, I didn't do the VFAQ way which involves prying out the rockers so you don't have to take off the timing belt. I did take off the timing belr, removed the cams, took the lifters out, compressed the new ones, dropped them in, reinstalled everything. I really don't know what went wrong here. The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't get all the oil out of a couple of the lifters when I compressed them, and they somehow pumped up really fast and caused a some valves to hit. But even now, I can still press the lifters in pretty easy with my finger now that I took the cams back out, so I don't know. And while I was taking this all back apart, I rechecked my timing marks, and they are all fine. I will have the head off here in a little bit hopefully. I had it all detached yesterday, but couldn't lift it off by myself. So I will be picking up a hoist today to help me out!

Oh and yes I took the valve cover off to see if any rockers were cocked or popped off, and they were all fine. It's really wierd, I don't get it.
