Title: Noisy Tappets
Post by: VR4Dave on 22 October 2010, 11:08:09

Hi, Following on from my post "think the mv6 is dead" - (it's not)
following the low oil pressure and subsequent sump and pick up pipe cleaning I have just taken it for a spirited 70 mile drive and all ok apart from noisy tappets.

Someone did say it may take a while for the top end to settle but I'm not sure how long a while would be.

Other possible cause could be I only have motosave oil in at the mo as I figured I'd be doing a couple of oil changes in the next couple of weeks, so saved my GM oil for when happy engine is clean.

Please help.
Dave.

a couple of changes do help.. but I experienced that 0-40 oil quitens them more quickly..

Will see how it goes, does it do any harm while they're noisy?
I should actually say "it" as it's only one that is noisy on drivers side cylinder 3 I think.
