4-stroke engine valve sounds? HELP!!
 

Hi again all!

I got i thing to ask about 4-stroke engine valve sound. When i unscrew glow plugs off from cylinder head and turn engine on camshaft i can hear "metallic" sound like "PLIP" "PLOP" and so on when i rotate the engine. Is that OK? I been only break in for few tank of fuel. I think valves caused this sound but i don´t sure.

Engine seems work normally and when engine is running sound are gone too. Weird?

I hope you can understand what i mean, bit hard to say this in English, from Finnish it is lot easier. :D

Some valve clicking is normal, but you must check the valve clearances
after a few tanks, and every couple months. Put some oil on the rockers
and some down the push rod tubes when you service the valves to provide
some additional lubrication. :D

And also no nothing sounds are heard when glow plug is in place and engines compression in OK too, so valves don´t leak.:eek:
