Hi,

Now I got the van started.

And I have a loud metallic knock fromthe engine, righthand side.

Sound to me like a stuck hydraulic lifter, or a stuck valve..............

Any good suggestions on     a quick diagnosis and fix?

It is not just the normal valve clatter when cold - it is a
distingtive metallic KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

SIGH!!!!!!!!!!
