If the car lacks top-end power and/or rattles too, then it has run one or more cam-lobes off, which a CVH engine will do in the blink of an eye.
This is more common if you are running a Piper or Kent camshaft.
Job done.
Im no mechanic christian thats why ive asked the question why my car has a rattle/tappety noise from the top end. I can understand people getting fed up with trying to answer the same "noisy CVH problem" but they is a small section of people who probably dont know much about engines
I was just hoping that someone had recently had the same symptoms as me and could shine some light on the subject for me
