Help engine noise - fixed | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Thanks for all the replies to my original question. Some 3 weeks later the car is back from a good, if slow, mechanic.

3 valves were too tight and one too loose, timing too retarded and the noise remained. At this point suspected fan as valves sorted. He took it for a 'brisk' drive and on his return the noise had gone! I guess it was the tin around the fan, I will keep an eye on it.

38 degrees here, unusually warm, car running really well, so I guess I better go and enjoy it!
