I am rebuilding a 292 for a customer that came in with a BAD rod knock. I tore it down and no bad bearings. What happened was the cam slipped about a quarter inch out of the cam gear and the head of one of the #2 rod bolts was hitting on the cam lobe causing the knock. Anybody have any ideas to prevent this from happening again? I don't think there is enough room inside the timing cover to drill the cam and put a bolt and washer. It doesn't look like it would clear.
A few years ago the 250 I had in my Dodge developed a really weird knock. I put in a 292 and never really figured out the problem. I looked at it yesterday and--same problem.
Is this a common Chevy six problem? I hope someone has a solution. Thanks, Joe
