I have a noise coming from the right side of my motor after someone overreved it. I pulled it apart and found a few collapsed lifters and a few bent pushrods. After replacing the pushrods, replacing the lifters, putting the stock cam back in and everything, I'm still having a knocking noise coming fromt he passanger side of the motor. When the heads were off the pistons looked great and not damaged at all or hit. The motor still leaks down fine... the only thing i can even think of is rocker arms, but they all looked ok.... Anyone have any suggestions on what to look at? Thanks very much for ANY responces.

Does the noise still sound up top or is it down low?

 

Piston Slap?

 

Well, I found out a problem for sure, the oil pump does not seem to be pumping oil. Took off a valve cover, undid the coil packs and primed the motor. I saw no oil flowing into the heads. Hopefully that is my problem. Sucks, i was supposed to trade the car in today <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
