Found the noise
The car was running like crap and had not only a noticeable miss, but it’s making a heck of a racket. Took the valve cover off and saw this. We’re taking the intake off now.

That would make some noise!
Did you back the rocker nut off in that pic? Hopefully nothing major broken.

Looks like the rocker nut came loose and the rod jumped out of the lifter. The rod looks okay. So we’ll put it back together and hopefully I’ll have a car to drive while our other engine languishes in the garage.

Make sure the plunger clip is still in the lifter , because sometimes if it’s just the round clip type they do pop out!

I'm happy to report that I got my car back. My son and I got it all back together. Same old crappy motor, but at least it runs. Thanks for your help as always.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
