94 4.9 Pinging sound coming from valve cover
Running very rough. Even worse when in drive.
Sounds like at about 2000rpm while in drive it has a pinging sound possibly coming from valve cover. or something rattling around in there.
I was stupid enough to siphon some old gas from the front tank to the rear tank which had been in there for a long period before I bought the truck. I ran lucas gas treatment through four tanks of gas. It has not helped.
A friend advised me to take off the valve cover and find what it rattling then replace it from there. I have never attempted this kind of repair. I am handy, patient,and good with my hands.
Any advice is truly appreciated. I cannot afford a mechanic and if I lose this truck I will lose my job.
