Rhys-

Again, thanks for the info. I just went out and did some diagnosis as requested. I fired it up and took off the oil cap and looked inside, it looks as though oil was splashing around, although I am not sure what to compare it to. When I revved it, then it started to splash out of the oil cap hole. Art in Baltimore will confirm that when the car is started and one places thier hand on the cam cover just above the third and fourth exhaust mainfold tubes, one can feel the knocking. I just did the same test and I can feel it on the palm of my hand before the cover gets too hot to keep it there.

Any thoughts?

Thanks-

Joe HC
