Can't help with the tapping noise I'm afraid, but in sure someone else will be able to.
The 3000rpm rev limit is normal though. If you rev it in neutral with no clutch it'll rev as normal. |

Thanks for the reply.
Had it all apart again today to see if anything was amiss. All was fine. Put it back together, went for a test drive and and engine started knocking really badly! Sounds as if it has dropped a valve or worse! Feel pretty deflated right now. Investigation starts tomorrow. Cheers |

Loose injectors!! Inj 3/4 had worked loose some how. I've never been anywhere near them.
It was making a right old racket! Sounded as if it was about to let go. Tightened them down and all is good. Might be worth checking yours peeps! Cheers |

Caterham,
Its not something I'd ever heard of before now. Since, I have been told it can damage your head if it goes undetected for some time. I think the fuel/Air/Gas trying to force its way past the loose injector can cause a ''track/groove'' in the head to occur. This would be a pain to repair! Cheers. |
