The engine is still in the car. Im not sure what you mean by prime the pump. I did lube everything up and cranked the engine for about 20 seconds without the engine fuse in before i started it up. Used plastiguage and had the crank inspected by a machine shop. As far as i can tell it sounds like the knock is coming from the head, but it is a rebuilt head and the cam is also new so i am confused as can be about what the cause is. The knock sounds a lot worse than any lifter tapping i ve ever heard on one of these cars, is barely audible at idle but if you press accelerator it is very loud. I don't have any reservations about tearing this mother apart again, i am just worried i will make the same mistake and have the same results.
