Default Re: engine tapping

Noisy valves in this engine is common especially at start-up. The oil pools in the sump and takes a few seconds to start flowing thru the system when the oil pump kicks in. It'll be fine providing you don't make it a habit of revving the engine alot right after start-up. Give it a good minute warm-up before heading off down the highway.
