Engine flush can remove small carbon deposits that block potential oil leaks. I always use it personally | |

A bloke informed me yesterday that my C20XE engine does not like to have engine flush put through them, doesn't do them alot of good, whether its true or not i'm not sure..... | |

You can clean the crap outta the tappets, worth doing otherwise itll cost you close to 200 for new ones + cambelt etc etc | |

My C20XE is really noisy when the oil is cold, just top end, i think i need new tappets, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem........its when the oil is cold and alot thicker.....doesn't seem to get to all the right areas, once its had a little run, well say 5-10mins its as quiet as a mouse! |
