Thanks. I had taken the valve cover off also to install a new gasket. Was able to turn the cam and see if the lobe was pushing on it or not. The push rod and cam show no wear at all. There was no O ring on the pump that's why they had so much goop. Getting acquainted with this motor this weekend was great. Got the 27mm socket for the crank and checked the valve clearance. Intakes were all at .152 but no more and exhaust were tight at .257 cold. I will have to get that checked out hopefully that's where the knocking is coming from.
