nosey valve tappet
« on: 04 June 2007, 08:58 »
hi my car is starting to get really nosey i haven been told it's probably my valve tappet, i was told i could maybe flush the system using flushing oil. is there any other addative i could use without a full oil change . if the valve tappet need replacing is it a big job?

flushing did nothing on mine nor did tappet treatment. bite the bullet and get new tappets. i did and have never looked back (at the £160 bill!)
