PS has the oil been changed recently?
I'm told 15/40 is best (Gerry from TI Autos recommendation).
I'd also check it's a genuine Alfa oil filter - some of the older 'aftermarket' ones don't have a non-return valve...
Yeah Roars.... 30 mile spin yesterday... drives sweet.... still lovin that famous Sud 'turn in' around the corners. your right ! pressing the clutch eases the 'noise' somewhat, however it's still there. Perhaps i'm just being paranoid ! I serviced it last week, with all the recommened service items. :thumbs:
I think my one sounds worse than that, I might record mine and post it here to compare. I pulled many a boxer apart but that was 25 years ago! I'm in Buttevant, where are you?
It's really hard to tell from the video but i think there is something there worth checking. Have a good look at the exhaust gaskets while it's running ( watch the handies) and check for leaks. Check the ignition timing also. Either one could add that click to the gearbox rattle that Rory referenced.
Sorry I meant leak from the exhaust gasket. There just seems to be a very slight tick coming from the engine. A blowing gasket on the boxer can really make it sound like a tappet problem.
