Hiway driving home 65 mph
Heard a ticking noise
Only 10 from home
So gotta get it home ...pulled into driveway,started knocking..never lost compression..oil pressure good....
No power loss.
Only sounds like it's in top end.
Have not tore down yet
Any suggestions what it could be.
I did find that the camshaft ventilation hose that runs from beside oil cap had a big hole in the bottom of it. I didn't see. Maybe dirt got sucked into top end. Caused damage. I live in gravel dirt road.
Any help appreciated.
