Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a GQ 4.2 Petrol 4 days ago a tapping noise started. thought it was the tappets and took it into the mechanic and he had a look at it wasnt.

The noise is there all the time but only very faint when at idiel (almost cant hear it) but at about 1800RPM you can hear it tap tap tap. He had a look and tried a few things and cant seem to pin point it. Does any one else had this problem before??

exhaust gasket leak?

I have the same noise and its not the tappets either.

Had another tapping noise the other day (sounded like a rocker was broken) and it ended up being a lose bolt on exhaust manifold. Tightened it p and all ok but still have that first noise :(

check ur air con belt and pulley i had da same noise n it was the bearing in the pulley and my belt was missing nobs

I'm with Chunderlicious. My mates car was doing the same thing. Was definately more noticable under acceleration. Ended up being exhaust manifold gasket. Put some extractors on while you've got it off

just found out its the exhaust gasket!!! already got extrators on her just need new gasket!
