Re: Knock, knock
Bad idea Bill. The pressure put on the cam gear teeth using this method can ruin them. Better to use a c-clamp on the side of the cam gear while torqueing the nut. This puts no strain on the gear teeth. Mike

To further report on this "knock" I did take the side cover off the timing gear to check it based on some of the comments. I did find the timing gear is great shape all the way around. Also no play with it's shaft going back and forth. So at this point, I think I will just see how things develop and go from here until something else turns up. Thanks again for the comments.

Re: Knock, knock
Was it knocking before the timing gear was replaced? If not, you may want to check your work. It is pretty easy to remove the front cover compared to getting into other areas of the engine. If you check under the cover, don't overlook the plunger assembly. The spring may have broken, or it may be so full of gunk that it cannot move freely.

The problem may still be values that need to be adjusted. But for now I think I will let it go and see what develops. It may be just the "Model A" sound.
