[QUOTE="Wayne R, post: 437181, member: 20451"] That's what has me confused. It starts with no knock, then it begins after a few seconds, and it's worse in the warm weather. The oil pressure is fine. It seems like I'll have to get a valve job done and while I'm in the replace the pistons. Then I have to ask myself if I should replace the cam because it might be a flattened cam lobe. Oh, by the way, it's not too expensive to replace the timing chain which appears to be loose. I start adding things up and it goes back to the original question of just cutting my losses and buying a rebuilt engine. Anyway, this one has got me stumped as to which way to turn on a limited budget. I hoped that someone here may have ran into the same situation. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
