valve noise
do valves start to make noise when they get out of adjustment. I'm asking about by grand cherokee v-8 with 150,000 miles on it. For some reason when I step hard on the gas, even if its on the highway and the rpm's stay constant, I hear the rapid tapping of something.
It has nothing to do with rpm, just throttle level. I don't know what this is.
Could the valves be out of adjustment from the age?
Calling out car models.. my brother and I made a game out of that. we could be walking down a street or riding along in the car with our parents and who ever could say the model name the fastest...
How did you get hooked on cars?
