Hey All,
been getting some crazy tappet noises happening when the engine is cold, and as each day passes, its taking longer and longer for the noise to go away.
i just did an oil and oil filter change incase it was the filter causing issues, but its the same.
so i thought i would open the oil cap to see whats going on while the tapping and noticed that there was no oil around the tappets etc.
im thinking its either the oil pump not working properly, but when i start the car, the oil light doesnt stay illuminated.
if it IS the oil pump, should the oil light stay on? is that what indicates an oil pump issue?
could it be something up top preventing the oil from moving up?? hydrolic lifers??
Cheers
