223 inline 6 knocking

Knocking 223 - YouTube
Just got my 223 back into my truck and cranked it. Started knocking and we didnt have time to check it out this week. Look at the video and tell me what you think (click the title link above) . Sorry for the bad video quality, tried to do many too many things at one time.

Thanks Taylor90

Pull the push rod/tappet cover and make sure all your rods are straight, no bend and that they are lined up correctly. Also, check your valves again and make sure they are gapped correctly.

Agreed, that sounds like a couple lifters are way loose.

Also check for an exhaust leak. The exhaust manifold is prone to cracking and bad seating at the block (including the intake manifold).

Check the valve lash adjustment and do what teardropty suggests.
