Re: Strange 327 Knock

With this exhaust valve hanging issue, would you expect to hear/have you heard the knocking?

I'll try draining the oil a quart or so also, i hadn't thought of that, although it's a hard knock, i don't know if hitting the oil pickup would sound that "deep". Also, when i had the pan off and the engine on the stand, nothing seemed amiss. It'd be nice if that was it.

I have a new timing chain/gear set on, i would hope it wouldn't be wore and slapping already. The noise is up front in that area, but seems to be around cylinders 1 and 2, based on some quick stethoscope testing.
