just drilled the airbox on ma 1.3 mk3, sounds much meatier but how the hell do u shut that tapping tappety thing up, ruins the noise, tightening the tappets or somthing ive heard but what are the settings for them

[Terror]

Hi.

Yes the tapping noise will most certainly be the tappets (valve clearances) Ive done my clearance on my fiesta 1.1, -

Fiesta 1.1 1989> = 0.2mm inlet 0.3mm exhaust
Fiesta 1.3 the same except when there is a sticker on the rocker cover =
0.5mm exhaust.

Only set the exhaust to 0.5mm when it says so though, these have a
hardened cam follower set that require the larger gap.

Also, wait for the engine to cool down before you set these, & there is a way to do Ford engines - look it up, or ask here.

theres a guide on how to do it in the guide section rawli made it

[John_D]

if its a hcs engine your stuck with the noise

[richard_p88]

Why is that? Surely you can make it sound a little less obtrusive?

Anyone know what engine i have? It's a 1.1 Mk3.5, I think it's HCS, but not sure.

[mk3dean]

i did my 1.3, but didnt inprove the tappets much, but it will b gone soon as pickin up my xr2i on the week end

Why is that? Surely you can make it sound a little less obtrusive?

it might quiten a little but the hcs makes that noise,

there was a thread on hear on how to quiten them, but it involved grinding something in the engine (cant remember what), but thats asking for trouble

[Jonezy]

spose it was asking too much of the hcs engine to be quiet
god its noisynow with them airbox holes.

[Jonezy]

not sure if this new sound is positive, sound like the exhaust is blowin but not if ya get ma drift, the eb=xhaust is band new btw. under hand acceleration this sounds really wierd from inside the car or is this cos im used to the useual, clater it made?

Yo...

Mine is a 1.1 HCS engine, in a J reg fiesta, mine also sounded really bad, I did my clearances & it did make mine alot quieter, after youve done the adjustments once, your supposed to do them again, about 2 weeks after the first adjustments, after the second adjustment it should be o.k.
