Getting the engine revved up often from cold is going to have some condensation problems, particularly if it does short journeys. I expect the oil and system needs a good flush out, just like j1 said :) | |

quote: Tapping would definately be the hydraulic tappers if its quite loud from cold, and problem is more serious if it does it when its warm too. Oil starvation is the problem, so is most probably fucked somewhere along the line. | |
