my rs has a tap from cold that gone in a few seconds, fitted new lifters but still the same

left car overnite, removed rocker cover the next day to find a few lifters have lost pressure overnite & the rocker is loose (hence the tap)

anyway they are new lifters so why is this happening????

the oil i got from a mate at ford but to be honest think its too thin??
could this be my problem????

what oil grade should i get get for it???

cheers

i used to use 15/50 on my rs turbo i would never ever go thinner than a 10/40

oh and you should always replace camshaft and lifters together on an rs turbo as they wear out that quickly that new lifters wont always bed into a old cam though that isnt your problem in this case

Don't know for how long they tap on your car, but mine tapped for about 1-2 seconds. once oil pressure was build up it stopped tapping and ran very smooth

That's normal, even on a factory new CVH.

Had plenty of cvh's that didnt do it from cold

Give it an oil system flush and fill it up with fresh oil.
Could be a slightly blocked oil way or a lazy tappet, but if they r new i wouldnt have thought so
