I have a quite large problem one of my valves is tapping im not low on oil and i just rebuilt it about 1k miles ago, about 3 days ago it had a slight tap when above 3k RPM checked the oil fine, then 2 days ago it started at 2k RPM checked oil fine, now it has a slight tap at idle, and the car is idling rough. When revving it up it gets louder and starts to have more of a grind then a tap. I removed the valve cover and checked the cams and valve jackets and there all fine, cranked the engine a couple of time couldn't see anything wrong, i have work here later so i dont have time to remove the cams so i thought someone might be able to help before i dig further.
Thanks |

its gets louder with revs? did you just redo the head or the whole engine? cuz that might be something in the crankcase 0.o
