pelvins Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 my engine hydraulic tappets have started being noisy after getting low on oil ,.....is there anything i can do or is it head off time ???? im using 10/40 grade at the mo the engine has active 8 friction reducer in , and ive tryed wynns hydraulic treatment to no avail .
4parajon Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 You wont thank me for this mate. But that was what happened to mine. I can't tell you anymore because I dont know the outcome of whats been found in the stripped engine yet. i was chatting to DeltaMal at FF though about mine and he said he had had a similar problem earlier in the year and found it to be a faulty new oil pump, apparently there was a bad batch made. Think thats where I would look first. Good luck
PAUL MANN Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 check oil pressure at the top,but prepair to strip it
