Today we (my son and I), started the Puma to time it. It ran for a few seconds and then started to hammer like a stuck lifter or rod knocking. A solid metallic knock without any warning at all which seemed to come from the drivers side of the engine. Double checked the valve adjustment and all the normal stuff. When I turned the motor by hand Craig said the rear most rocker arm seemed to not move as much as the other three so I removed the assembly to see if the push rods were ok. They seemed fine. The lifters are free so I'm going to pull the motor but I just don't get how this happens without warning. So I get into my bus to go to the store and while shifting into 3rd the shift lever pops and disengages leaving me stuck in 3rd gear. I don't get how this just happened. Someone putting pins in a doll with a lock of my hair in it and chanting evil political chants backwards????? How about it guys???????
