does anyone know what else besides gas causes engine knock when the car is at idle and in gear?it is pretty loud.

no just at idle.when youre in front of the car,you can herar the sound coming from under valve cover but i pulled it off and didnt notice anything wrong.also, i just replaced my timing cover.

no.it just knocks at idle and in gear.i revved it lightly once and it sounded like a rattling noise

its funny cuz i just replaced all the tensioners 8 months ago.i replaced just about all of my timing components due to the fact my tensioners got old and the chain wore a hole in the side of my timing cover.i never hammered my car once and i bought it new and never had any knocking before.
