as Paul stated check your oil level..its most likely the tappets.

[engo]

yeah i checked the oil.... its right on full... maybe slightly above full... but nothin out of place... its driving me insane!!!!

[MZTRBO]

Im no mechanic just talking from experience regarding loud tappets..had the issue in my rb30 for a long time...it was a pre-existing problem when I bought that car and was told it had run its oil to low in the past or the oil was too thin.

It is an annoying problem..

Try running some injector cleaner through it, try the eliminating process..

Happened to mine when i used thinner oil (0W40), using a thicker oil (10W30) and its now a lot quieter, maybe try 15W40 or something a bit thicker next oil change.

dude its your lifters, using thicker oil should quiten it a bit.

befor u do the oil get a really long screwdriver n put driver end on the rocker cover

put your ear on the handle end and listen .

try it on top of each rocker.

do the same on the injectors.

you should be able to tell which it is injectors or some thing in the valvetrain, and go from there

could be nothing but hard to say as only u can hear how loud the tap is .

but some tap from the injectors is normal ,

good luck
