I have had for some time a knocking noise, that when sitting in the driver's seat seems to be coming from the top right hand side of the engine. It was initially very faint hardly noticeable over the sound of the wife talking (only joking dear) I mean the radio but recently has got more noticeable. The sound is intermittent only occurring when accelerating through the gears and stops when cruising in 4/5 gear. It is not noticeable when I rev the engine on the driveway, needless to say It's not currently being driven.
It is not a tappet sounding noise more of a knock
The belts have been done and the oil pressure is as it should be.
I have read through the other threads and searched the net and am thinking that I need to check the chain and tensioner.
I have read that the tensioner guides perish but would chain need to be replaced?
I would appreciate any advice as I am keen to work on her this weekend to get her back on the road.
