Reply With QuoteThis motor features hydraulic lash adjusters with no provision for
adjustment. Additionally, one would expect lifter noise to come when oil
pressure is low, typically at idle where a "loose" lifter will bleed down
quicker than it can pump up. Since you problem occurs only under
acceleration, I would guess that what you are hearing is 'ping'. Some causes
may be EGR system, intake gaskets (especially in light of the stalling
problem) or MAF sensor. There may be another problem but these would be the
most common.

Valve Adjustment
How are the valves adjusted in the SOHC? 50k sounds
a little early but I hear a distinct valve rattle under load/acceleration
at 2800 to 3000 RPMs. Also in the cold morning the engine
will only idle for 2-3 seconds before dying. Have to keep foot
on the gas to keep it idle when it does this. Also when starting
I can sometimes hear that same rattle described above for a brief instant.
Valves out of adjustment?
How are they adjusted? Are they those little replaceable cam discs
that the cam lobs depress to open the valve?
TIA

Re: Valve Adjustment
I was thinking of the intake gasket problem in OOM12 if I'm not mistaken...
What years did that recall cover?

Re: Valve Adjustment
Doesn't sound like a rod knock. Thank God.
