My fairways engine has developed a noise like a slack valve clearance but only when hot. It isn't the valves but seems to come from inside the engine somewhere,It's not loud and the performance hasn't been affected. Any ideas?. |

Recheck your rockers and make sure that one has not worn itself-away in the centre..... after that.... the Nissan head has a habit of dropping the expansion chambers out of the head into the cylinder.... but first they tick away and sound like a noisy tappet... as they gradually work themselves looser before they drop.... them boom engine knackered |

Yes, but if that's the problem & he catches it in time, it could save him a fortune. |

Thanks for the replies especially MrT. I found the rear injector was loose and after taking it out,cleaning everything up an replacing the sealing washer it seems the noise has gone. I much appreciate the information re the chambers coming lose in the heads,fingers crossed that doesn't happen!. |
