[Roadsters] valve tick / clatter

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 Does anyone know if Autozone loans a bore scope for checking inside the engine? If so that could be handy.

Ah, the old "piston slap", I had not thought of that. Worn out wrist pin,
usually.

Three others have already mentioned this - make me number 4.
The piston is hitting the head. Been there, done that.
If yo can shine some light in the spark plug hole, I'm betting
you'll see scuffs on the piston dome where it's been pounding.
