so my ka has been making some lite tapping noises on top for a month now. start it up today and noise has definately intensified and no longer @ a consistent rhythem. Almost positive the source is my rockers. Questions are: Anyone know some good aftermarket replacements? Heard of a rocker plate/stopper for sr20's, do they have them for ka's? Looked around, couldn't find info on this subject. Are ka's prone to the same problem sr20's have: high rpm knocks rockers off. Leads?

have not checked timing guides ( a quick how to/will refer to chiltons also)and definately tapping at idle.

UPDATE: no rocker arms on 95 ka24de! Sound has gone away...yeah!?! Have an ex-grlfrnd who's father is a mstr mech. 4 nissan & he listened to it and thinks for the money i should wait for it to get louder. He thinks its something to do w/the chain but has also replaced lots of individual parts in there to get rid of noises for them to only come back. Also agrees i should take cover off and remove top timing chain guide. So...hopefully next weekend goes ok and it starts right back up...& quiter.
