if its just a noisey tappet,have you thought about trying an engine flush on it,then fresh oil & filter,
usualy helps unless its really bad.

[jonno12]

nah been like it for 6 months now i used forte engine flush magnatex oil and new filter and bit quieter but still sounds like a silenced machine gun lol does go after a mile or so but as soon as ya stop it sneaks back lol might try the topend stuff from forte see if that works but if im selling it cant see the point in spending on it

maybe your engine is tired & has very low oil pressure,

[jonno12]

maybe your engine is tired & has very low oil pressure,

could be matey is there a way of checking it?

[t5 stealth]

use an oil pressure gauge & connect it to your engine,via oil pressure switch.that will giv u a reading,i dont think it will work using the wire from the switch as its just a signal,not an actual pressure.

[jonno12]

have to run it to the local garage and have a nose and see tomorrow cheers matey
