how much oil is in it? Sounds like lifters aren't pumped up all the way to me.

if its coming from the top of the motor, sounds like a stuck/ bleeding lifter [ March 31, 2011, 10:25 PM: Message edited by: Adam5.0 ]

If it is a stuck lifter, you can use half a quart of transmission fluid added to the oil to help brake it up. Don't run it too long with it in their because it brakes down the oil too. Or take the valve covers off and find out witch one it is.
They also make sea foam that should do the same thing. Like $10 at auto zone.
And lifter would be more of a click not a knock. Knocks are bad. [ April 01, 2011, 03:47 AM: Message edited by: Yellow69 ]
