Just finished all the work I had planned for this spring. Bump steer kit, CB fuel pump and cleaned (rebuilt ) the carb that has been giving me problems. Seemed to be running great. As I am going up a hill near home I hear a pop and the engine sounds like a sewing machine. First I thought I had lost a gear in the tranny but that seems fine. I checked the compression and all cylinders are 120. Car starts fine but sounds like one or more of the valves are real loud. Any explanation besides the one I fear (trashed motor).

plugs in tight?
if an exhaust stud pulled out, the exhaust leaks under the engine- but what you hear is the exhaust valve going clan-clang-clang. almost every valve concern I've had turned out to be pulled exhaust studs- which are a pretty cheap repair at an ol school VW shop |

Plugs were in tight. I just checked the valve clearances and they were spot on. I hope this means I can't have a collapsed pushrod. I checked the exhaust studs they all seem to be tight. Tommrow I'll slap it back together an start it up again. I'm missing something here. That Newbie by my avatar is well deserved.
