got the 126 running but it has a nocking sound coming from the top of the engine
now im not to sure how the engine should sound in a fiat 126bis but i'm sure it shouldn't nock (http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/confused/confused0007.gif) im going to take the plugs out and put some red X down the bors incase the rings aren't free, a oil flush and change clean the filter bit out and look at the tapets, (what should they be set to???) any other idears people????

Sounds like its a tappet not seating properly, Maxlee did you look at that manual on the hungarian club site. Check the feelergauge measurements on there.

hope this helps,

The sound isnt a result of the engine mounts? just a thought
