Post subject:  knocking noise

When I did the valve adjustment I didn’t have a mess of oil like there should be. I had noticed before I took it apart that my pressure wasn't has high has it normally was. I developed a loud knocking noise. I had two mechanics tell me it was my rockers. Seeing has I’ve had the car for over 3 years I never had the valves adjusted. so I took every thing apart cleaned it all up but I didn’t realize that there is a front and back side of the bar the service manual says there’s a flat part on the bar I didn’t see any thing but I really wasn’t looking for that . After things were put back together the knock is still there. I noticed the damper looks like it was wobbling and the belt is worn on one side. I did notices a power difference after the adjustment.

My next thing to check is the converter. What’s the best way I can check with out removing the pan if there is such a way?

Has for the low oil pressure I’m going to check the pump. I do have an oil leak that seems to be coming from there. Even with the leak before I still had good pressure until recently.

Timing chain will be next if the knock is not form the converter and then on to the bearings.

The only way i know to check the converter bolts(they cause the rod knock noise) is to pull the access pan and tighten them. if there is another way i would like to know too!

The cover bolts are easy to check once you take the dust cover off the bottom/front of the bellhousing.

thanks Doc i don't know why i didn't think about the dust cover. thats why i had to ask. does the starter need to come off to take the cover off? it looks like it does. but not sure. i'm sure i'll find out tomorrow.

well takeing the dust cover was easy and i checked the bolts and the all seem to be tight to specs. there is one bolt the is round and was hard to check. i still have the knock so now im movein to the chain.

to i have to take out the Radiator to get the the cover off. i'm getting the tool to remove the dambner. thats a nother thing if you look at it when i's moving it wobowls and the belt looks a little worn.
