I was just driving my car a minute ago and something very bad just happened. I had a concern about my revs earlier and how it wouldn't let me go over 4000 rpm. Well, I just replaced the coil and was trying it out to see if it helped my revs go past 4000. When I took it up there, something happened and a very loud knocking noise started happening. Another person on this thread had a post about a loud knocking noise that he heard when he started his car. Mine seems to be making the same kind of noise. I need help immediately! Any help as soon as possible would be helpful, please. Thank you very much.

My dad had mentioned before that he thought the valves were too tight and they were hitting the tops of the pistons . . . It was a guess, but I think he could possibly have been right. What do you guys think in relation to that? If that was the case, what could the damage possibly be? Oh and another thing I noticed, even though I don't think it matters, as soon as the knock started, I stopped the car and looked underneath. My whole motor looked like it was shaking like crazy. The driver's side exhaust was shaking worse than anything I noticed. It's obvious this isn't any kind of exhaust leak or anything of that sort, but I thought I would mention that. Since I noticed the knock increased in speed, I guess that pretty much rules out having anything loose around in the motor. Anyways, I thought I would mention this and see if anyone could help me anymore. Thanks
