Engine question - Lifters ???
Ok, that's what I am facing:
whenever my engine is idling, I hear LOUd knocks coming from my engine head. It sounds like a woodpecker on action !!!
When I touched one sparkplug I could "feel" the knocking... very weird... I first thought my plug was loosen... which is not...
Does this engine have lifters ?? Is that something from the lifters ??
Anyone had this problem ?? how to fix it ??
thanks
