Im just at work and a guy i know has asked me if i can help him

He says that his engine (x10xe) is making a noise, becomes worse when hot

A load tapping noise that gets louder as you rev it, i havent heard it myself yet this is just what i've been told

I suggested either tappets, or timing chain

Any other ideas ???

think deano87 was having a similar problem with he 1.0. Was to do with the chain or something I think

Could drop him a u2u or wait until he comes on

needs a new timing chain tensioner - theres reworked ones out

but a new timing chain cures the noise too (do to old chain is worn but tensioner is too weak and cant adjust to wear causing rattling

Its not always constant though the noise is intermitant.

Chain and tensioner easy to do ?

well, take the engine mount off, then waterpump then side casing, im 99% you dont affect the timing when doing it.

you may have to lower the sump (to get the side casing off), i cant remeber tbh though
