    Well guys im back yet again, with yet another problem. The water pump let loose while dring down the interstate, evidently i didnt notice the temp gauge maxing out quite quick enough.

    We replaced the water pump fired it up and heres what we got...

    #1 when cold the engine doesnt knock, and once warm and under a load it doesnt kock, but when you let off the clutch it is a very loud fast tapping noise.

    #2 It has a severe power loss, but idles fine, starts fine, and is fine until warmed up.

    I believe we're going to take the valve covers off and check for a failing lifter etc.

    Thanks :SNSign:
