Exclamation Weird rattling noise coming from engine
Hey guys, i have this rattling type of noise which sounds like it's coming from right under the rocker cover and i got no idea what it is! I only just noticed it tonight when i came home. Any idea?

Cheers.

rip your rocker cover off brent and check, only 4 bolts. Could be a up for some new lifters.

Is it a rattle or a LOUD tapping.
Is the idle slightly rougher than normal????
If the idle is a touch rougher it'll be a stuffed lifter (common issue).
