Hi, I have a 500 SEC 1985 & i'm getting a tapping noise from the engine on tickover. You tend not to hear it once the revs pick up but it is slightly there.
Anyone got any ideas?

does it come from one side or the other

in time with the engine revs, or in time with some belt- driven ancillary?
Welcome to 20 questions.
What's the mileage, have you had the chain tensioners done at all?
