Well, just after the rebuild on my 2.0 liter, I get to enjoy the lovely sound of a stupid knock. I got home a little while ago and my dad said he heard some popping like there was a miss. I told him I didn't hear anything and pretty much thought nothing of it. Well I just went back outside to start it up again and see if I heard the popping he was talking about. And what do you know, a god damn knock is there. Definetly sounds valve related again, but I'm hoping to god it isn't anything bad that would cause a shitload of damage again. Is there any chance that I could be lucky and it's just like a loose valve for some unknown reason? I mean is there anything it could be besides a f-ed up valve that's hitting the piston and is threatening to the well-being of the motor? Please let me know. If this is a problem that's going to involve money to fix, there goes my car!

I know it's nothing exhaust related. I can definetly tell by the noise. I'm for sure not driving it for fear of having something really bad happen. It couldn't be a bad valve spring because they're all brand new. Just had the heads rebuilt with brand new valves and springs during the motor rebuild. I'm just praying to god this isn't something bad, but we're pulling the valve covers off tomorrow to check the clearances then we're gonna go from there. I'll update on how things turn out. Thanks
