Hi, I am Alex from Holland,

My car was running very hot. The radiator fan was broken. After I realized it, the head gasket blew.
The engine was removed and all gaskets rod bearings, piston rings, oil pump, lass adjusters, fan and radiator, were replaced and the engine runs very well.

After the repair, there is still a knocking sound like a valve needs to be adjusted. Mechanics cannot determine what is causing the knocking. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for reading this...Alex
