So as you know I've adjusted my valves today, something I thought was the valves may be something more serious. When you have a rod knock does it happen all the time? The first innitial start of the day sounds like a clanking/tapping. Maybe I'll video tape it tomorrow.
go over the full procedure again- you might have forgotten to turn the engine 180 when you did one of the adjustments and that will throw off everything

thats counter clockwise starting at TDC and #1 both valves closed.
Yeah I did that right. I wonder if my dad has a micrometer, I was watching the old video on how to do valves, and it tells you the exact feel. It's suppose to feel "gritty".
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think I have about 5 or 6 micrometers: metric, English, Japanese, or Russian? @7@
Actually dad it's the Irish one. Do you have an Irish one?

NO! Not the Irish one! You either have to be sauced or wearing 3D glasses!
I have 3D glasses we're good to go. Dad said it's actually going to hurt the micrometer to run the feeler gauge through it.
You will hear a rod knock most at the high RPM just before you shift a fast metallic sound.
knock, knock who-----------
Ok good it's not a rod knock. =)
