i am new to the site, i have a 2006 Cobalt 250 with a volvo penta engine, it is 8.1L Gi-G (8.1 litre, Gas Fuel Injected) 375HP. it only has 26 hours on it and runs great. i had the oil changed the other day and the person (he wasnt a full time boat mechanic) noticed a tapping or clicking noise when it is idling and the engine cover is up (when cover is down you cant hear it). the noise reminds me of the old days (1960's) when some cars had mechanical lifters and they would tap when out of adjusment. i would really appriaciate any thoughts/comments that you may have about this noise being something normal or something BAD. thx
