Well after not having time to deal with it this afternoon, I came back from with my C5's and the new rubber on them thinking that I had bad...bad luck. I didn't even check the engine at first again while I put the new wheels on.
Once I had them put on I felt I could handle hearing the knock, so I started her up. No knock! A slight tick, but after it warmed up it was almost not even there. After a testdrive I noticed no noises, loss in power or anything at all. It was like this crap didn't even happen.
I'm too confused to be happy about it, as I know I heard something earlier today.
