    yes we need to see a vid. otherwise its just a guessing game. if it sounds low in the motor it is more then likliy a rod. if it sounds hi, and a little softer may be a bent push rod. if the car has a mis then this is more then likly it. a push rod may not be opening the valve all the way. we will wait for vid. to go further. good luck!

    I took my rear valve cover off and one of my springs was broke and the rod was out of the rocker, so I figured out the problem and plan on fixing it saturday, thank you for your help everyone.

    Please don't insult someone because they took the quick basic post approach like you did. You didn't supply enough info and off the cuff, OtherNick's post is the same caliber as yours. You didn't post more info to help us help you. There's no need to be insulting someone that took time to try and help.

    Your parents taught you better than that.
