Re: knocking noise

["Rick Alexander" <rick@brubakerbox.com>]

I just bought a parts car ('87 16v) that had the crank gear "peel off". Is
this a common problem with the 16v? Is it possible that this can happen and
not bend the intake valves? Can you tell that I'm new to these engines?

Just trying to further my education.
