[QUOTE="wkwoo69, post: 44651, member: 101"] Correct. The tappets should not be making those type of noises as they are self adjusting. It could be the lifters. I had the exact same problem and MODIC showed that the camshaft position sensor (also called the "pulse generator") had failed. Got it changed for a small fortune (RM600 plus inc. diagnostic and labour) and the sound went away. Sifu chankl in the previous forum pointed out that the price I paid is par for the course for that w/shop as its pretty labour intensive. Research verified that it was. OS Flanker : rugby, karting, UDM-ing, and nature? You got a lot of interests, bro! Love your signatures! [/QUOTE]
