Braad Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Had the head gasket and cambelt changed last week for the sale of my Glanza. The car fired up first time and ran fine on a test drive however later on it had developed a clatter almost identical to the one in this video : It doesn't always do it, and only after it's warmed up.Am I right in thinking it's a lifter/valve clearance? It's coming from the top right of the rocker. (The buckets and shims would of been out for the re-skim)Obviously I've got the car up forsale but i'd like to try and resolve this.Any help would be great, Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Were the shims put in where thery came out of? Did whoever do the headgasket check them?Where is the noise coming from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
