Best Answer

No, normally the engine will idle very rough and then run good at full throttle when the intake gasket is leaking. Spray around the edge of the intake with carburetor cleaner, engine running. When you hit the spot with the leak the engine will rev up. A click can be valve train noise caused by a valve that needs adjusting or a sticking lifter. A knock is usually caused by worn bearings.
