Noticed a distinct clicking noise coming from around the rocker/head area which comes and goes. Its not a tappet sound at all, a very distinct click at random intervals. Any idea what it could be??

Mine does the same mate just noticed today duno what it is.

 

Like an intermittent tap, just the once every now and again?

 

more a clicking sound

 

manifold blowing can do this. as can a broken ring land...

 

The lifters can sometimes make the odd tap when things start getting worn....

 

its quite constant but not always there. Deffo not a tappet sound at all.

 

more prenounced when cold?

 

my mates one does this..

was the cam sensor touching on the pick up...

cossie managed s2 aswell....

so thats a possibility....

 

Hopefully nothing on Dans engine will be worn! Isn't it all quite new?

 

I know this sounds like a silly idea dan but is your oil topped up?

Any blockages or anything? apologies for stating the obvious mate but happened to me before and the oil was low

 

Only old item is the cam.

Well I adjusted the sensor a fractional last night before taking it out again, and when I returned the clicking had gone. Whether this was due to the engine being warm or the sensor was causing the problem I'm not sure, I'll find out this morning

Fingers crossed!!

Cheers guys,
