Re: cam lobe

shouldn't cause a knocking, maybe a ticking/tapping at best. my engine has a slight knock when cold and i tore the whole engine apart trying to find it, i have come to accept it as piston knock, like forged pistons do when cold, even though mine are hyperutectic(sp). other than cam, lifters, and lube you will need a timing cover gasket and might as well do the seal while your there. also try using lucas oil during cam break in along with the lube.both me and my brother had the same problem and the lucas really helped
