I have had my car at three mechanics recently none of them were able to stop mt tappets from being loud. Not happy as they are louder now then before I took it in.
That sounds a bit odd that 3 different mechanics could not get them right. Are you sure it's tappet noise?
Tony
Yeah, but like mine, with dual fuel, they are always going to be a little noisier, and the clearances are set slightly differently - did Derek check to see how advanced your timing was when it was there??
No he didnt. I didnt ask. He stopped the noise though for a few hours lol thats the closet by far. LOL
LOL!!! Well, give him a lash at it ...
Thanks for the LPG angle.
hi team have nt had much to ask about recently but just reset the tappets on my 4.5 liter petrol today and followed the procedure as described above (even the when your finished go back and check again!!!!) and man what a difference it made to performance and to the ear (tick tick tick ggrrrrrr...)
i have done this procedure before in the past with mixed results lol... maybe iv been doing it wrong ever since so many thanks for the post... still learning!!! thank you NISSANPATROL.COM.AU.......
Here is a table I use, printed it out and laminated it so it's oil proof.
Just checked the manual, clearance is for warm engine.
