Jeep Strokers

Hey stroker fans, I hav ea situation someone here might be able to help with. I swapped the timing chain on my 4.0 about 3 weeks ago and the motor developed a strange knock. When I first start it it has the usual 160k mile noise then as it warms up it developes a low knock that progressively gets louder. After about 4 or 5 minutes the knock fades away. I took the front of the motor apart and checked the cam button and bolts and all see fine. Any suggestions?

My stroker will be ready in about 3 weeks but im curious as to what might be going on with this 4.0

What timing set did you use and how loud does the knock get?

i used a cloyes single row from oreilly. It starts soft and get pretty loud then subsides.

timing set part number was c3041

Silver, You have any ideas??

Did you reuse the cam spring/pins setup in the bolt?

Exactly how loud does it get? And you said it eventually goes away?

yes i reused the cam spring button. it starts light during warmup then get pretty loud like a rod knocking then it fades away. off idle it doesnt do it. only while idling.
