Tapet Noise

[dejanz]

there is a very small tapet noise comming from the engine its very anoying...

the people i spoke to said that it needs thiker oil. the person that sold me the car said he uses 30-40 fully synthetic. i think he is full of shit and was hiding some problems the car had.

1. can you get 30-40 fully synthetic

2. isn't that way to thick(using 15-50 semi syntheic)

3. any ideas how to get rid of that noise

people i spoke to said it has to make that noise its how it was set up, i don't think thats correct

Possibly a sticking hydraulic lifter. Nulon make some stuff that's supposed to be able to clean them out. Worth a try.

I get a little noise from my clutch :S was from brand new

But I also get a clicking really fast.

I think its the spark plugs could it be like that?

i am goig to try and get the noise on a sound file so you can hear it. and know what i mean. its very noisey i am pritty sure its tapets. my mobile just picks up static so i am going to use my walkman to get the file.

also ist not the injector an i could be the spark plugs but it just sounds to loud for that

its not the cluch. mine is a nismo bras button so it makes a lot of noise but this noise is comming from the engine
