My engine seems sweet but gets abit tappy when warm,was thinking about taking the engine out,see if anything is worn and replace what's needed,but i have no experience taking an engine apart,could my cam and lifters just be worn or is there normally a reason they wear out,theres no knocking at all and out of about 10 cvh'c i've owned 8 have probaly been tappety but want this one to be spot on,car drives great and boost's perfect,idles fine and keeps low temps,what would you do?
take it out and give her a freshen up mate

these engines are always a little rattley, mine was rebuilt 9 years ago now and has always had the servicing kept on top of and tappets/followers replaced reguarly! doesn't make a bloody sound, runs lovely

so yea, get her rebuilt mate!!

cheers
