I'll be heading out Saturday morning - I think. Tonight after doing a bunch of work on the car this week (including checking the chain tension, the rockers and springs, and the lash) I got it off the jackstands and started it up, and heard an intermittent knock coming from the engine compartment. I think it might be the headers hitting the frame, or something like that, but it sure sounds ominous
I'm taking the car in for a front end alignment in the morning at my friend BradFord's shop, and I'll have him listen to it and give an opinion. But if it's a motor noise, like maybe a rod knock, I won't be heading to Drag Week. Crap, that would be just my luck...
