Maxleggett 'Bolter M Joined: Sep 2023 Posts: 23 Perth Australia	Hi all from down under in Perth. I have just picked up a 1952 Chev Coupe utility with the small 216 engine. It has a very distinct tapping noise and misfires etc. Starting to think a sticky valve and potentially bent push rod. Any tips on my next move. I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to this stuff. Cheers Max
