That seems to be the issue. I've already merged another thread of his. I'll PM him, but please try to keep the flaming to a minimum.
BTW, to answer the original question, you would need to perform a valve adjustment. Pdiggitydogg provided a link in your other thread: http://www.georgebelton.com/6g...x.php

Re: (Padawan)
thanks bud, but like i said in one of the other posts i am not sure if i used the right size feeler gauge, and if that was causing the problem ? the gauges i used measure (for the intake .008 SAE - .203mm) for the exhaust (.010SAE - .254mm) please let me know if you think i should return these gauges and try to adjust the valves again to see if thay will get rid of the knocking, thanks

The feeler gauges you used should provide the proper results.
Did you make sure that the engine was <u>completely</u> cold before performing the adjustment?

Yes. Ideally, the car should sit over-night before doing the valve adjustment. It should be completely cold, because metal expands when warm/hot and the clearances will change.
