Tapping Noise From Motor

[boost69]

Drive an 04 auto xr6t with exh, k&n and flasher.The other night whent to give it a bootfull and it missfired and spluttered and then this tapping noise started from the motor.

Ive had a vl turbo which I had spun a bearing on, and im quite concerned that the xr6t might have spun a bearing also.

I think its unlikely as the car didnt manage to really rev hard but I cant think of anything else it could be as the car still drives ok.

I know sometimes a spun bearing can last for while but I cant think of anything else (such as valve spring etc....as this would affect the way the motor runs...)

Has anyone come across the same prob ?

Your input is appreciated.

just sounds like some pinging I think. Maybe some bad fuel or something, or check ya tune out..

Pinging you will hear under load.

Does it make the sound at idle, low revs?

Looks like I might have to take into Ford and see what they have to say...

My has only done this twice. I had pretty much the same mods except the computer was an RDP unit (TSI).

I thought it was a tapping noise also till I wound down the window, but it was more like the sound of?

Remember as a kid people would put a card with a peg on the spokes of there pushbike? well that's the clicking noise I hear and it only stayed for about 30seconds after the missfire and splutter.

Like I said it has only done it twice and this was over 6 months ago now?

Sounds like valve and spring issues,when you rev it out,and they cant cope then they have to repump them selves,some bloody thing like that

mine does it at high end os the scale

vik...dont know the tecko terms but that what it sounds like to me

Vik,

that's funny because I have the XR8 valve springs fitted by Goldie (Ian)? And thought it would get rid of the spring problem before going higher power?

I actually thought it was something to do with the valve's as my old 6cyl (202) HK Expensive Daewoo that I used to own did it after I revved it to hard.
