man, i hate to tell you this. but this is exactly what happened to my motor. that knocking you heard was the cam being shoved down into the cam bearings. on my car it ruined the cam bearings, cam journals, wore a cam lobe flat, and put metal through the entire motor. my motor ended up completely destroying itself.
i wish i could tell you how to get it out, but it even took the techs at LG a few hours to get the damn thing out and i have no idea how they did it.
i sure wish i know how the hell this happened. btw, i was using stock lifters.
best of luck to ya.
