    Knocking in Timing Cover

     



    There is a knocing in the timing chain cover of my 2 yea old 427 bbc. We figured out that the cam was walking out and the cam button is hitting the cover. Where do I go from here to stop this noise? Any suggestion??

    do you have a gear drive on it?there shouldn't be but like a 1/16 of an inch clearance between the button and cover.the big gear(on idler drive) should be on the pass. side of engine.it provides a "mesh"and causes the cam gear to want to push cam into engine.if the big gear is on drivers side it could cause it to want to "walk" the cam out.just a thought

    I believe a much simpler solution wood' B earplugs.

    Or ............................. from my house buildin', door shimmim' dayz. A wood wedge (shim) betwixt the pump N' timing cover. Drive it in while the engine iz' runnin' soz' ya' don't get it too tight. Nuttin' worser than givin' yer Big Block a wedgie.
