There's specific tappet cleaner, but the best way is to remove them and de-pressurise them clean them and stick them back in. maybe worth doing a cambelt swap at the same time. | |

before you change the oil get some decent engine flush and rag the car for a while with that in, | |

do an oil change and fill it up with some vauxhall mineral oil, run that for a day or two then change the oil again for some 15/40 semi synth, usually works nicely as the mineral helps to clean out crap | |

i replaced mine, its amazing how quiet a GSI engine is when new, could take em out and soak them in oil for a week thats some times works | |

Its probably worn or dirty lifters. If you take them out they can be cleaned with some parafin. Or they are about £6 each new i think. | |

I've noticed my tappets making a wee bit of noise recently at higher revs, am I right in assuming they're hydraulic tappets? And to get them adjusted costs mucho £££'s ?? :boggle: |
