First time posting here and an entry level "mechanic", Im learning to work on cars via this one... Replaced the water pump on my stock 95 a while back... ever since ive had a fairly loud valve train knock, sounds like its coming from the intake side.... if I recall I think I was about half a notch off when timing the cam on the intake side. Wondering if this is something that could horribly mess up the car? I just moved to a new apartment and I cant work on cars here, that plus work lately hasnt given me much time to tear things back apart and retime the car...all I know for certain is that its coming from the valve train and not the block, and im 99.9% sure its on the passenger side. Also have an oil leak ive been trying to track down, dont think its from the filter, drain plug, or valve cover that I can see... any recommendations on the next best spots to look? Thanks in advance for any advice
