need answers to knock question

OK so my 2 has developed a knock between 2500 and 3000 rpm, it sounds like it is coming from the head, is there any likelyhood that one of my valve shims is out of adjustment? also does anyone know of a way to get rid of the "hose from hell" that is easy to do? thanks for your time

Well, I don't know much about valve shims, but I do know one thing for sure. There's absolutely no easy way to remove the hose from hell!
