scutch0 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 have you reset the valvs yet rich?nah not yet matey, bloody uni work!!!mines been tapping like crazy for ages, been trying to figure out what it is for months, tried different plugs, putting the original filter back on and oringinal back box, all useless. if you find a cure scutch let me know please.define tapping? if it sounds like its coming form the top of the engine its probably the valve clearances like mine, if its noiser when cold but not as bad when hot its probably the vavles need shimming. plugs, backboxes, air filters wont make a differenceRich.

rmsnoel Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Mine makes that tappin, i always thought it was the injectors??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 nah, it'll either be the spark plugs sparkin or your valves, the valve clearances are not really life threatening to the engine, but it will help if you get them done at some point.Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
