That explains your appearant lack of power. I must warn you that even by replacing the pushrods, you may not get rid of all of the clatter. If, by some snowball's chance in hell you get rid of all of the noise, please let me know. If you are still getting knock retard degrees after the "fix," you will have to take measures involving desensitizing your knock sensor. I would be happy to help you with that should the need arise.

 

Thanks bro for all your input. I'll e-mail you on the results later. I'm going to bed!!!
