Had my engine overhauled by a reputable shop. Ever since I installed the engine back in the car, there is a loud knock when you are cruising. One member in our club had his engine redone at the same shop as I did. His engine started making a loud knocking also. The shop owner stated he had a batch of bad cam gears. I changed my cam gear even thou it didn't show any damage. Also installed a new spring and button. The knock is still there! I'm thinking could it be possible the spring isn't strong enough? Has anyone else experience this?
