My 1.6 engine was making a loud tapping noise which i suspected which was tappets. I adjusted them to the set measurements. Since then the tapping noise is still there and quite annoying :angry:

What do you guys think it could be ? Or shall i just leave it ?

A little end bearing can sound like a rattling tappit when they start letting go. You need some sort of stethoscope to listen whether the noise is up top or farther down.

It's been fettled just a tad.

Hi Aspinall
Check the idler bearing on the drive belts in the front of the motor - it can make a ticking noise if nearing the end of its
Service life ..... Particularly if it's running dry ( no grease left)
