Evening all,
I have a 182 and recently i have been hearing a tappy noise from the engine, not really there from cold only when the engines warm. I have gone thru the search function listening to others noises that they have posted up in the past but none really sound like mine.
I changed the oil and filter 2 weeks ago in the hope it might of quietened it down but it hasnt (using miller 5/40 fully synth oil).
Tonight i also done a oil pressure check and found at idle when warm it was running at nearly 2bar and when at 3k its running over 5bar which sounds good to me. The noise seems to be at its loudest around/inbetween cylinders 2 and 3, do the cams wear on these engines?
The noise is more apparent at over 2000rpm . .over 3000rpm the noise is generally drowned out by the exhaust and v6 airbox. in the last 6000 miles its had a full cambelt kit and aux belt kit fitted but no dephaser was fitted.
I noticed alot of people say if its the dephaser then its generally under 2000rpm but this noise seems more noiticable above 2000rpm. I have also re-checked the tightness of the plugs and all is good and tight. Any suggestions? could it be dephaser?, can it casue noises in the middle of the engine if the dephasers is worn? anyone else had this experience before or is local to lend a ear or am i going to be at a loss untill its stripped down.
Thanks all and sorry for the long post! :rasp:
