i had that problem at the bggining and i ignored it thinking it was nothing and gave the car an oil change and filter, ran it for 2 weeks now it's been sitting in my garage for 2 weeks cos everytime it starts it rattles like hell cos the crank and big end shells are knackered! | |

go to bullseye at tanyard and ask for some engine flush then get some oil and filter while u are there if u dont have already. empty the can into where u put the oil and run at no more than 2k revs for 20 mins | |

i just been out for a quick run an the noise has pretty much dissappeared :o i changed the oild about 5,000 miles ago but i might just flush it out and do it again to be safe. Do you have to use flushing oil for this? an how long do u leave the flushing oil in for before swapping it for normal stuff? | |

It sounds like the top of the engine, under the rocker cover. So could be the cam maybe? | |

Just got home from doin the shopping and noticed a loud tapping noise. Sounds like very loud tappets but it has come on so quick I doubt it. Gave the car a right thrashing so not sure if that has something to do with it. Any ideas? |
