My otherwise lovely 230 SL has a quite a bit of what sounds like valve clatter when it gets warm. When started from cold there is very little noise, but as the engine temperature rises the sound becomes more audible and slightly intrusive. The valve clearance have been set, same with the throttle linkage, there is no smoke and a compression test showed perfect compression on all cylinders.
Any ideas on what might cause this?
Thanks in advance
