Re: 45 Mag questions Knocking is never a good thing. Best bet would be to spend the $ and get it checked out.

Re: 45 Mag questions The 45 MAGs seem to be notorious for excessive valve gaps. I would start there. The valve lash should be set between. 004-.006 for that motor.

Re: 45 Mag questions Its pretty hard to test drive something when its in Wisconsin and your in Utah lol but i will deffinatly have it checked its just not really like a distinct knocking noise i have heard motors knock but if you all must know i only paid 3500 for it so no matter what i think its still a good deal

Re: 45 Mag questions  didn't see where anyone asked how much you paid, but congrats on the purchase of the new money pit.

Re: 45 Mag questions Me??? Nah, not me. Robn is a good dude, I was just giving him a hard time. When you said it was knocking I assumed you meant really knocking, not the clatter from the roller rockers. Glad it checked out ok.
