Well lads, as you may know there is a nice ratteleing noise coming from my Wagon.
I keep gettig mixed opinions about it though.
At 1st I was told it was tappets, but it seems to loud for tapets??
Secondly, I was told it's a bent valve.
And thirdly, I'm assuming I blew the big end bearing.
The noise is very noticable on start-up, but quietens down when the oil is pumped around.
The tapping can sometimes go from a constant noise, to a tap once every few seconds.
The car has lost some power, as it struggles to reach 6,000 rmp now.
So I'm wondering, is the big end is gone, is it not a constant noise that never goes away??
If it's a bent valve, would that noise come and go??
Or what ese could it be??
Thanks in advance
