What all did you do?

[mvaughn556]

valve lash, header wrap, and frame insulation all the great fun stuff in a small barn with no room to fart. temp. at 10 deg and wife naggy to come back in the to rub her feet!!!!!!!

[mvaughn556]

pretty much thinking out load. does sound like poor oil circulation or low oil, dead cylinder but no error codes, bad timing mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hope i did drop any thing but was very cautious....really loud pounding sound i know there loud but man thats loud...

valve lashto loose or way to tight

Take the diagnosis nice and slow. Its still cold out so you have time to get it right.

There isn't any oil in the rockers. same thing happened to me one time, I now make sure to pour oil in up there during a rebuild. Oil takes a long time to circulate around and up into the top of the motor so it will sound bad till enough oil gets in there.
