28v6r 0 Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Not that I was aware of, have you tried listen to the tapping with the ol' screwdriver to the ear trick?? or obtain an old stethescope and listen to the noise...Does the tapping rise with the revs or is it constant? where does the sound originate, top of the engine, side, front or rear? what kinda tapping do you hear? loud, hard knocking or a more gentle tapping, which would you say it was?If you can answer these, then it may guide us in the right direction, or someone may have had the same problem.Good Luck, let us know how you get on.Regards28v6r[ Edited Sun Feb 22 2004, 02:26PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
