<VV> Valve Rattle/Tapping :

[Rick Sanford]

A friend has good running `67 Monza Convertible 110hp 4 speed. The engine was built 7 or 8 years a go by a noted and a very experienced Corvair person who had a shop Corvair for a long time.   He has had the car for six years, and has spent a lot of money on it, and it has rather low miles.  In the past year or so the valves will get out of adjustment and make noise at idle.  Last winter he put "new correct self locking nuts" on all the rocker arms and had a noted Corvair Person re-adjust the Valves.  Quiet for most of the summer, but now the valves are making noise again.   Any Ideas of a cause or cure  ?
