Eddie Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Did you check the rocker arms I've found the hardened push rod seat in the rocker arm loose. I replaced the rocker and the tapping noise dissapeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pux Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 The engine will be getting looked after Xmas is out the way so fingers crossed that it is nice and simple!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Howz the ticking now PUX? Been reading up on tappets etc as my 3.9 V8 has started ticking. Used 20/50 mineral oil recently in a service and thought this would cure it. It went away for a few days but returns now and then. Added Hydraulic valve lifter cleaner to see if it will help. So fingers crossed. Good to read though that it may be ok for a while as i have a 1600 mile challenge coming up in March. I can deal with it after that if i really need to.
