my engine knocks/taps/clicks loud at idle, and gets quicker as the rpms raise.

would a compression test create this problem???
im takin off teh vavle cover to see if i have any play in the lifters.

lemme know if u think its safe to drive daily until its fixed.

I drove for 3 weeks with a broken lifter on one of the exhaust valves. The only signs of problems was the idle sounded a little different but once I hit 4000 rpms it started backfiring out of the intake.

I think it might be a main bearing or something of that sort. Might even be a tensioner. I had a crushed bearing and it cost skrill to get fixed. Yeah I drove my car since august til december just dont race alot

well, she is goin to satan tomorrow. how can i tie this into the timin belt swap they did for me like 3 weeks ago???

the engine chugs and i dont have full power. lotsa vibrations when shes under load (like goin up driveway). and she idles like i got crazy cams.

let us know what they say is wrong....
Hope its nothing major

timing belt slipped tooth, or dumbass didn't do the right sequence w/ the crankshaft before putting the belt on.(back 3 notches, forward to a half notch something like this) That would make piston to valve noises.

Shit is all apart. Typical...

they prolly through off your timing when theyinstalled the timing belt but their work is always warrantied for a year so you should pay anything wanna buy my RED hint hint AEM CAM GEARS ill overnite it so you can have satan put them on
