Steve @ 1 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Tapping could be the lifters yep. Could also be the chains as well. And nope the cams dont need changing when replacing the lifters. Best get it looked at chap. Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The top end is naturally tappety mate. The tappets are also called followers or lifters. You don't need to replace them. Link to post Share on other sites
