Dryer I know what this issue is. Idler pulley.
Motor from what I can tell from service records I looked up is untouched. Just normal service. I can hear it knocking now. I started it up in the driveway after it cooled off. Its definitely from the driver side.
Ok, is the knocking from the top of the motor or the bottom? Once she cools off, pull the plugs, paying particular attention to 1 and 7 and also the fluids.
If an AFM lifter failed and didn't mess anything else up, it's wise to replace all of the lifters and it is SOP to replace the 2 or 4 lifter trays, the VLOM and update your driver's side rocker cover to the new style that doesn't let the engine burn so much oil.
If you want to delete AFM, myself and the fellas on here can help you out. Start a new thread just for this issue when you can and post up some pics of the plugs and if the fluids look abnormal.
Our dryer busted a belt a few weeks back, Amazon delivered the parts the next day and my daughter tackled it.
