Hello,
Please listen to the attached video and tell me what you think. It sounds like top end valve train noise, push rod? See links below, I appreciate your time. 914 1974 1.8 stock https://youtu.be/FjfgbFgZY64 Thanks. |

Maybe remove the valve cover and check for a broken retaining wire or something else bouncing around in there? Longshot, but I can't think of anything else in that area that would be moving around.
