Hello Forum
While driving along minding my own business, suddenly noticed a rather loud tapping noise on my 1.2 8V 60S, my engine is not the quitest so this got my attension.
Popped bonnet where it sounded loud, seems to be coming from inside of the r/h side of rocker cover.
Sounds like a single tap, tap, tap constantly, metal to metal sound, goes up and down with the revs.
Got home removed cover no broken parts no metal bits lying around (good news)
Tried to remove the 3 bolts that hole the oil supply pipe but could not budge them !!! are they standard threads (anti clockwise to undo) or are they torqued so tight that a standard spanner would not do the job.
If there torqued up maybe to risky to try to undo, anyone done this ?
I just wanted to remove this pipe to see if there is a blockage on the r/h side.
I have a basic socket set plus some ring spanners here so maybe not the right kit.
Thanks for any help.
