I have a knocking noise inside the engine, when its cold its only a light noise

Its not clutch rattle either

when its really warm it seems so much louder, Im thinking big end but not sure

Any ideas ?

Get the valve clearances checked.

Also, might be a cam shaft. Mine was doing the same, got it swapped out for a spare i had and the knocking stopped

It was valve clearances!

My inlet was set at 0.40 and my exhaust was 0.30 !

Not good, I've sorted it now and the knocking has stopped! :)

I have a similar knocking/tapping sound which increases with revs - it's quite loud.
I have been told it could be the tappets :smt017

Anyone got a guide on how to adjust them at all?
