(look for cracks/blown out gasket material)Ensure your using the correct oil in your engine as the valve train will knock a bit if it's wrong.(my old EF falcon made these bad rocker tapping noise's after putting the wrong oil in the old girl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 18y 1m 11d Gender: Male Posted 03/04/11 12:19 AM Author Share Posted 03/04/11 12:19 AM Been a few weeks but I've checked the manifold bolts and 2 were loose on the front on the motor,, all the turbo bolts are as tight as my ass so they can't be it.. Rud: I got all my pullys changed last service as my idler was stuffer and tensioner was bouncing around too much..Cccc: boost solenoid makes a noise?

hoju04 Member 6 Member For: 15y 9m 7d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 04/04/11 11:34 AM Share Posted 04/04/11 11:34 AM I reckon my BA auto (stock) has the irregular tapping sound in the second vid, and has done for the 2.5 years that I've had it. Listening through a screwdriver, it is loudest in the belt/idler/pulley area. It hasn't gotten any worse in that time. It only makes the noise once the engine is warm. I told my mechanic about it, he thought it was the idler pulley and didn't seem to worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
