    Default Noisey Tappets

    well lads, been trying to figure out the ticking noise from my car for a while, so today i checked everything!! I took off fan belt checked all pulleys, took off timing belt covers and checked incase the belt hadnt been done as stated by the previous owner, checked turbo and no problem with any of them, so from what we could make out its coming from the camshaft area and as soon as you take off the oil cap with the engine running you can hear really loud metalic ticking coming from there so safe to say its the tappets!
    So my question now is has anyone else had the same problem with their tappets and what parts exactly did they need to buy and replace to sort it? Also where did they you get the parts did they have to be got at main dealer or just any motor factors??
    There doesnt seem to be any performance problem but its just really annoying and can be heard by people outside when driving past aswell

    their hydraulic lifters in the 150 so too thin or poor quality oil would make them louder.

    My 150 has had tappet noise on warm up since 50k miles (once warmed up, it is purrfect). It does not bother me now in the least. I have ran cars in the past with noisy tappets for may 10s of thousands of miles without issue. When younger it did bother me and a good flush always helped.

    Well that's the thing, mine doesn't quiten when it warms up it keeps ticking the whole time which gets annoying especially around town and the like where it sounds louder going by houses and walls!! I've used and engine flush when I changed the oil but it didn't make any difference... Is there any other additive anyone has used that made any difference or anything I could try before opening up the engine??
