I have put a bottle of 104 octane boost in the gas tank when filling up and it makes no difference. I also added a can of STP with no change. I want to fix this before major damage is done. Thanks for any help.




Hello and good day:

OUCH!! This sounds like a Loose Rocker, and Tappit for your Valves. Have you pulled the Cover and checked this???

Please advise further.
