Hi, I bought a tapper & have recently had my cylinder head repaired (8 bent valves) I have re-fitted everything and no more tapping . However there is now a knocking/rattle above 3500rpm, It does not do it when cold but as soon as it warms up I can hear it. It is quite inconsistent, if I hold the revs while driving at say 4000rpm it comes and goes!! I cant really get it to do it in neutral. It does not seem to get any faster or louder with more revs!!!Does anyone have any idea what this could be or what I could check?? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks |

Checked the heat shield which is fine!!! I have noticed the noice occurs everytime I go to change gear and lift my foot of the accelerator a bit. It makes a rattle for about 2 seconds. It still does it while driving above 3500rpm. So confusing. Anyone have any more ideas what it could be??Thanks |

Check top mounts, and exhaust cat/ mid section joint.Or, pop the bonnet and rev the engine using the throttle by hand, see if you can pinpoint it. ________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |
