Tappet sound from KF engines

kfze · 06-10-2006, 02:43 AM

Do you guys have experience the startup "tak tak tak tak" sound from the tappet of your KF engines for those who owns a KFZE V6 ?

Few of us over here that uses the KF engines experience these annoying sounds when we start the engine. The sound seems to me as if the engine is not well-oiled. I am quite sure it comes from tappets.

I am currently using 10W-40 engine oil.

Has anyone solve or identify what the problem is ?

Any opinion is appreciated.

Thicker Oil
Or replace the worn units. They will still work but as they wear they cant be reversed

the noise your hearing for about ten seconds when you start up is sticky lifters you can buy oil additive to fix this.
