Started a few month ago, the engine starts up beautifull (73K on a 04 plate) , but after 10 mins ,once its up to temp a clancky, cammy noise starts ,but the sound comes from the right bank high up in the engine,sounds like a rocker... a few peaple had a listen and we all said "cams gone". So off to my local indy, whom felt it could be the cam or the tappets " best do them both", i sorced a cam,followers and timing chain from RPI (partsrange)., duely fitted by my local indy...started the car...lovely...for ten minets, then back was the clacky,cammy sound. i read some where here on a forum someone had a simular problen and it was the rockers and shafts were worn...so new rockers and shafts from RPI...fitted them and yep the F%&*ing sound from the devil was still there.
As you might imagine the chap at the garage is sick of the sight of me and my V8, i cant keep chucking money at it,I'v spent almost grand up to now, any one got ant ideas..please
 
i,ve just cured a rattly,tappety worn camshaft sound on my v8-loose manifold gasket bolts:eek:cost me foook all but a coulpe of tugs on me wrench.silly as it sounds but it might be worth a look.
 
i have the same problem than you...i hear a TAC TAC TAC when the engine is in iddle, but the noise appears only when the engine is hot!:mad:
Try the main bearings from the camshaft.
 
crash it into a parked citroen and burn it..
piccies please....
