Re: 361 Engine Knock

So the root cause of my problem was a bad replacement fuel pump. The fuel pump arm had too much horizontal play and was banging against the timing cover. Replaced it with an electric fuel pump.

Re: 361 Engine Knock

I measured the inner width of the current cam gear at 5/8". I have one on order at 1", and it looks to have a flange on it. I'm hoping that and a new fuel pump will put her right.

Re: 361 Engine Knock

Hi and thanks for your advice and patience. The cam gear was after market but I haven't pulled it out yet. I should have it out in a day or two but I expect it does not have the spacer flange and...

Re: 361 Engine Knock

All I changed was the cam gear and the chain. I verified that the cam gear was an identical match as far as diameter and gears. I did not change the pump elliptical.

Re: 361 Engine Knock

OK, here's a third try to get the images in. Here's the fuel pump with the gash on the arm,

Re: 361 Engine Knock

I drained the oil and there's no metal. Another reason why they says it's built Ford tough :) . Next up I'll tear it down again and see what's under the timing cover, and get a spacer in there.

Re: 361 Engine Knock

Thanks, guys, I really appreciate your input. I knew I couldn't drive the car until I got that knock figured out. So let me see if I have this right. My new replacement cam gear likely did not have...

361 Engine Knock
