Tapping engine noise By furrymurry (Read 301 times)

Hi, Please see video to hear the noise I am referring too. This noise just started out of the blue. It is not the valves because they have been checked and adjusted. Thanks in advance for the help.

it does sound like a really loose rocker arm, maybe the engine jumped time? does it have power at all? does it sound the same on startup?
press your finger on the spark plug hole and crank over engine to check for compression first or feel it with your hand on the kikstarter does it hiss and is ahrd to push?

That does like like your valves, The lock nuts may have come loose on you.

Loose valve lash. When I adjust my valves, I turn the cam till both lobes point down toward the head then adjust to .003" intake, .004"exhaust with a tight fit on the feeler gauge. Works for me!
