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 |

Did you check the valve clearances? If it's getting worse it may not be that or you'd have noticed something obvious when you took off the valve cover.
The oil pump might be bad if it sounds like you're low on oil but the oil pan is full. It could also be a rod knock, maybe a loose rod or main bearing in the bottom end. -------------------- |
