ok.. engine was taken apart for tranny rebuild... valves were fine before it was taken apart... now something is knockin real bad in the engine...
assuming nothing else went wrong in the rebuild... could the vavles be off just from taking it apart and putting it back together again?

Rule of thumb #1 - anytime the cylinder head is disturbed, 99% of the time nothing changes unless new valves are installed, but the valve clearance should be checked anyway just because of that other 1%.
The head may have been torqued differently than before, the rocker cover may have a different torque ..... these all add up to minute differences that could effect the valve clearance.

Its amazing how many people rely on their dealer to fix something and get it back and cant figure out why somethings is wrong....i like to do it myself...but thats just me and i have my master mechanic dad to help with anything that needs help. Its funny how in my sled manual the most common phrase is "If this happens please take your machine to your local dealership".....but all I need to do is adjust the suspensions springs.....lol how hard is that really
