hiya zsirly x fiesty rst i got 2 get my lifters and tappets done then am having it rolling roaded 2 see wot its really had done first....im focusing on my test lol i just failed next one on 10thmay lol would be good if i could drive it x

 

Just wondering, is the top end very tappy? Is that what you mean?

 

hello

 

hi x they told me when i bought it they was due to be done x think i should stay here ...u lot are nice to me lol x

 

Do you mean they told you the tappets need doing?

 

yes hun! when i bought it they said they soon needed doing x

 

Ah i see. Right well heres the story like it is sorry to say

If the engine is tapping, then yes chances are the hydraulic lifters (tappets) are worn, but unfortunately on a CVH engine the only way to cure the problem is a new cam and a set of lifters. The cam wears and later in life wears the lifters out, putting a new set in will last for a few minutes before it taps again.

 

its not tapping yet hun its had an engine rebuild before i bought it,and the bloke just said the tappets and lifters will need doing shortly x

 

so i need the cam done????i dont know much im learning x

 

Tappets/lifters are the same thing. If its not tapping then there is no need to do anything, they only tap when the cam is worn excessively.

It might be worthwhile getting an oil change done, its quite a favourite trick to run them on thick oil to deaden the noise a worn cam makes.

Wheres your friend then

 

and welcome
