how long do tappets stay silent for on a 1600cvh with 240bhp as i have a rattle and i reckon its them there worse on cold start and once been running for a bit there a bit better they were changed in 2005 last

cheers for any help lewis

 

not long at all sadly!

 

on and std ford 60,000 miles

 

prob not what i wanted to hear so do u reckon it would be wise to change these its either that or its the camshaft thats playing up

cheers guys

 

I wouldn't change the tappets with out the cam.


chances are that if its 'that' noisey, its worn the cam.

 

you MUST change them together.

 

Lewis speak tp AVA about a Newman cam, it would suit your engine perfectly

 

cheers davie will do
