new tappets ?

Postby happyhands 1 » Mon Feb 07, 2011 12:12 pm

Hi everyone,
Happyhands here.im new to the club as i just got my first FTO last week.bought a 98 GR.seems fairly standard with 18" BK alloys & what i think is a K&N panel filter.everything seems fine with the exception of noisey tappets.just wondering how often they should be changed & is it a job for a professional or can it be done easy enough by someone with "ok " knowledge of engines ? Any advice would be great. :)

Welcome to the club.

Start by changing the oil, a couple of members have had decent results with that approach.
Do a quick search for "tappets" on here and you should find a load of posts. :smt006
