I have a VT V6 which developed a tappet-like noise. Sounds like it is coming from the rear or middle of the engine. Had the tappets (cam followers) replaced with new ones, Oil flush and new filter with new oil, still has the same noise. It gets a bit quieter as the engine warms up. Anyone else with the same experience? And a fix for the problem? Noise sounds like it is coming from the rear of the motor. Definitely not gudgeon (wrist pin) or big end noise. Do these engines crack piston skirts? Like the old 173 red engines?
