VZ Calais Impounded?
It could also be an exhaust leak.
check the manifold bolts . pretty common for them to snap in the heat

Yea no worries, after shovinf a bottle of nulon lifter free and driving aroung for a week with it in,i drained then stuck some new oil just for a couple of days i left it in then drained that out and it actually came out like ice coffee lol .
Then i borrowed a camera of a mechanic mate and jacked up the motor a bit loosened sump enough to get the camera in and checked it all out and i guess i was lucky as mine was all clean as a whistle so im hoping it stays that way now.

Hello with this noise you are getting is your lifter it makes a tapping noise and reason I know this because mine is doing the same so last night I took valley cover off to find one that is tapping I found bad lifter bit of info for you the vs commodore has roller lifters and when I took bad one out the roller on bottom broke a piece out of it I was lucky that it did not mark cam

vs commodore s1
Hi sorry not too sure how to start a new thread so I guess ill try here and hope for a responce.(1st a bit of back story I recently replaced my motor as the old one had a cracked head) In the morning when I start my 1995 vs commodore it makes a tapping noise which leads me go believe its the lifters. It goes away after a few minutes and doesn't seem to come back. also it doesnt seem to be the exhaust leak etc. Thanks
