Im wondering if spark plugs working loose is a common fault on B-series motors?
My car developed a very metallic tapping noise yesterday that got me worried. Being it has over 140k miles on it I immediately suspected it could be a slight small end tap....
Quick search on itr-dc2 advised checking the plugs though....
I thought what the hell & found 2 plugs only in hand tight Re-torqued them & hey-presto noise has disappeared!!
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
If nothing else, be sure to check your plugs first if your engines ever develop a light tapping noise.....
