this may have been posted before but i have not found it but anyways if it has plz point me to where it is i just recent had an intrepid given to me and it has a valve knocking i removed the oil pan and timing cover to look at the oil pump and with out removing it it looked to be in good condition but there was metal shavings in the oil pan so i cleaned everything and put it back together and it still has the knock and the rest of the car is in good shape
