Rocker arm noise can be caused by several factors, including insufficient lubrication, which leads to increased friction between the rocker arm and the valve stem. Worn or damaged rocker arms, push rods, or valve lifters can also contribute to the noise. Additionally, improper clearance or adjustment in the valve train can result in loud tapping or clicking sounds. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to minimize rocker arm noise and ensure optimal engine performance.
