Got a tapping noise again, seems very loud, and at certain revs my dephaser is making a noise as well.
Any ideas if they could be related?
Giving up now
Thanks
Ben

Is the tapping really loud at just over 2000 miles?
Mine taps like a bit*h at around 2k and its done it for ages really. Still pulls fine and everything.

Chees Jord.
Yeh, on idle its not that bad, over 2k ish you can hear it, but then it gets drowned out by the bodies.
Oil pressure and level seem good.

Re: Engine fucked...
Also get a smell of oil if i hammer the car right up to the top of the rev range.
Head refurb or buy the about and get new valves, lifters etc??
Or break the car and get something else?

Re: Engine fucked...
Yeah Ben sounds like we have the same type of enigne tapping.
Mine still pulls like a train so i'm just gona keep running mine.
Depends how long you've had the car really? Thought you wanted to do more trackdays and an evo would be a lot more expensive to run on track.
I'll take your 1.2 bullets if you sell up

Re: Engine fucked...
Dude, i had the same thing on my 172... sounded like a death rattle.... after close inspection it turned out to be the large cast alloy block that goes along the front of the engine (covering the injectors) had come loose.
2 tightened bolts later and she's sweet as a nut!!!
worth double checking!

Like you say, still runs mint. Get a smell of oil when i give it death.
Had it for 2 years now, really wanted to go the ring in it one last time in august, but dont want to keep chucking money at it.
Might just keep running it until it dies
Buy a second hand engine to build up...

I've got an engine sitting around from a ph1 with 48k on it from Sutt autos..rear ender - car was completely standard with original SX tyres on it...they're a dime a dozen.
Which is exactly what evos are not. When you delve into it - it actually works out cheaper to run a F430. (bar buying the car ofc)

might be just a leaky cam seal where you're giving it some and it's weeping like a widow where its thinning out and burning off on the manifold you don't know mate. I'd get it looked at first
ITB'd 182...
If it aint broke then why fix it?
It's built to be driven hard so that's what it has.
Ben, if it still pull's fine then keep an eye on it but just keep driving it imo.
Had new rocker cover seal, and cam seals etc when i had the lifters replaced.
I rather it just blow up LOL!
Its never smelt of oil before, not like this anyway.
Hmmmmmmmm
TBH, it hasnt been driven hard for a while, just general pottering to work and back.

Mine has done 102500miles now, dehpaser clunking like a nackered sewing machine for the past 20K, engine sounds "tappety"...
I give it death daily driving to work, just done 2.3K around Europe, 5 laps of the 'Ring (Guppy loved it )
and it still runs sweet, fresh oil every 5K and that's all it gets
Mine does have a smell of oil / fuel when really gunning it but meeeh!
