Engine Ticking

<< < (4/7) > >>

Xtremeteam:
ill have a look at it first before deciding what u need to get,

sounds really like a vacum pump TBH

if you have checked the valve clearances & none were out then it aint gonna be the valve caps as when they break up/ vanish it puts the clearances waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out

Timbob:
A couple were a touch out but nothing concerning really. One of the valves did not compress as much as the others? After listening with the screwdriver the middle of the rocker area sounded more high pitched than the rest but I assume that could have been down to the loose spring. The noise does sound engine based but with all that whirring could be anywhere i suppose.

Xtremeteam:
what you doing mon night? pop down then & ill have a look at it

ferret:
I have the same noise on my 200tdi defender engine. It gets worse as the engine gets hotter and louder as it revs higher. all the gaps are ok and it has had a new belt and tensioner fitted. At lower revs the noise cant be heard much. It reminds me of the sound an old ford i one had with a knackerd cam used to make but just one cam worn not all of them. :?

Timbob:
That may be possible, probably difficult due to guests. Where bouts in fife are you? A noise from the pump through the screwdriver would confirm it as the problem you reckon? Need a bigger pole! Thanks for the offer, most kind.
