does it just do it once she fires then goes away or continue to do it?

what about when its warm does it stil do it then?

also have u noticed any decrease in power or anything like that?

thanks, I usually use shell branded oil with 10w30 grade and got this engine oil (gulf western oil 20 50 ) recommended by person at the shop because it was cheap.
anyway so which oil grade are best for this engine, i might replace the oil tomorrow see how it goes

A mate of mine gets it off a guy who brings it in cheap.....RUBBISH

sorry just seemed like the right place to put it.

check my video thanks if you can notice the slight tapping coming from the engine
note: the engine wasnt really cold at the time i made this video so i would post another one tomorrow when the engine is really cold
i dont feel any decrease in power and it seems running fine and smooth as i drive it to the highway everyday

I agree i think its sounds like a lifter.....take it to a pro and get it checked... good luck!

thanks guys, well it was sounded worse and louder when the engine oil mixed with water
so if you think this is lifter noise
do i have to replace the whole valve train such as push rod, valve or just a lifter ?
also what really pissed me off is that i spent 38 bucks for coolant, now i have to waste it coz i m going to remove the lifter and replace if thats the case

oil mixed with the water?

 

[mitmit]

anyway i went to holden part department the other day that they recommended me a whole set new valve lifters but they also said it still be alright and considered normal if the rattle goes away after engine is warm unless the rattle doesnt stop then it has to be replace

oil mixed with the water?

i have just replace whole set of gasket to it so i have already fixed that problem

if it goes away once its warmed up or after a 30seconds or so i wouldnt worry about it, but if it continues like holden said then i would replace them
