Charged VR 0 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hello, Can anyone help with this one as driving me mad,Carried out a full rebuild on a spare engine that i had sitting around for a year, Had the head and block oil ways cleaned and a new oil pump was fitted Everything is good and the engine runs perfectly apart from a noisey tappet that i cannot cure,Have narrowed it down to the exhaust side nearest the coilpack, but will replace all 12, Just wonderd if any one has ever used a flush and can recomend one? Or if there is anything that someone has tried that worked, Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
