Wierd noise after changing timing...
So, my timing was off a tooth. I lined it up on the flywheel underneath, then moved the cam gear one tooth clockwise, making the timing correct. The car now drives much better, normal spool up, etc, but i have a very loud tap noise coming from the area of the distributor/camgear/1st cylinder valves. I can not pinpoint the noise.
The only thing that I can picture making this noise by changing timing would be fuel combusing out of the combustion chamber, but i am positive the timing is correct right now, so what gives? Thanks
