I have stopped driving this car for now. Using neglected backup junk car (old volvo) Yesterday as I was adjusting the rockers, I noticed everything normal with nothing unusual. Adjustment was found to be in spec. No funny movement was detected as I observed the rockers moving up and down while in very slow idle, very normal. Only noise was detected, like a bad rod bearing but went away as I pushed on #4 exhaust rocker, pushing on intake rocker on # 3 and # 4 made the sound worse. Some people said I have a possible broken cam. If I do, how can this be caused ? Are they that cheap ? Mine has a VW logo as I can remember. I never heard that just going fast can break a cam unless it is defective . This is just speculation but I will see when the autotopsy is performed.
