I have been working on the engine in my blazer for a few weeks now. I started by getting a crank kit to put in it and replaced all the gaskets when I put the engine back together. I got everything put together and set the timing and got it started. I noticed that after I started it that I have a slight knock coming from somewhere on the driver side of the engine. I first thought it was from the fuel pump but I removed it and started the engine while it was off and still had the knock. The pistons and ring are in good condition the valves and push-rods look good. I adjusted the rocker arms to specifications listed in my Chilton manual. I am currently waiting on a rebuilt carburetor to arrive because mine sat for awhile and doesn’t want to work properly. My question boils down to what can be causing the knock in my engine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
