I had wondered if that was it, and was going to check it before I actually
did anything, and sure enough, that's what I found! I managed to get it
back on and start it up, and sounded good! I'm going to have to go back and
adjust it because I couldn't remember quite the right way to adjust it once
it's TDC, but I found the info... Too bad it's too dark out. But, I did
start it up with the covers off and it slightly torque down, and it ran just
fine. Hopefully if it doesn't rain when I get home from work, I'll be able
to adjust it real quick and get everything back on and take it for a ride.

I listened to both more than once!! I think you have a
collapsed or stuck lifter!! Pull a valve cover on the side
that the 'Knock' is most prominent & check to see if
one rocker is loose while you have the engine idleing!!
If it is a lifter - it is an easy & cheap fix....
Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
