OK, I ran some B-12 in the gas for a few days. . . .no change.
Then, Marvel Mystery oil in the gas as directed. Drove it about 35 miles and parked it. The next morning the knock was gone and has not come back. Thanks for all the help. It sounded just like a stuck lifter but it sure must have been a little carbon. Does anyone else use this stuff? It seems strange that you can add it to the gas or oil.
