I have a clattering which sounds like amplified tappets. Started suddenly without any warning and fortunately just outside the gate. Engine still starts easily and runs. Plenty of oil pressure and oil to the rockers. No obvious problems with tappets when run with rocker cover off and hard to tell where its coming from as it sounds the same underneath as above. Not transmission as its still there with clutch depressed.
I'm thinking piston rings but wondered if anyone with more experience has any ideas before I start dismantling it.
