It's a camshaft cover and it holds the cam in. You cannot remove it as long as the timing chain is connected. You have to remove the front cover and timing chain before the cover can be lifted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. swisdom User May 9, 2009, 1:13 PM Post #3 of 4 (2836 views) Re: 1993 Pontiac Grand Am Knocking on Top of motor Sign In U have any ideas on what could be causing this the knocking is on the right hand side Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 9, 2009, 4:30 PM Post #4 of 4 (2830 views) Re: 1993 Pontiac Grand Am Knocking on Top of motor Sign In There are a lot of possibilities. could be broken valve spring, problem with the cam, etc. It may have to be opened up to find out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
