> [@nitroinsane](#): > > it is a knock. my tech thinks dos may be lucky and its valve float i however think its rodknock. it also has a whole bunch of random misfire codes Joe … that is one of the funniest things i have ever heard … (sorry joe but i just dont trust any tech’s that work for that chain) … as far as anyone knows … it could be a rocker noise (poss a bad lobe on a cam ) that would cause a random misfire code ---

Jager should chime in on this. Way back in Spring (April perhaps?) his motor was doing the same thing and it turned out to be the piston hitting the head every so slightly. This may be the same problem. Good call on that Mike. ---
