Author	Subject: Tapper query?
6box Newbie Location: Norwich Registered: 23 Jan 2014 Posts: 41 Status: Offline	Post #1 Has started to make a tapping sound. However the Cambelt was done about half a year ago successfully with no tapping afterwards. I've checked the spark plugs and they are tight. It is a constant tapping regardless of what temp and continues after a good thrash. Any other suggestions?

I'd guess you've got a dodgy/sticky lifter, whip the cam covers off and turn it over by hand to have a look what's going on. ________________________________________ Ryan
