Engine rattle / knock

[lagoonboy]

Mine has this rattle only when cold on acceleration. As it warms up it stops. Interested to know what it is also.

I just started running Castrol Activ 2T in my fuel and its made my motor very quiet it was very rattly before.

Hey mate,
What kind of oil is this?
It's meant for motorbikes?
Is it 2 stroke oil?
How does this help?

Ok, cool. Diesel engines generally sound rattly to me.
My RB30 makes hydraulic lifter rattle for few seconds on cold start.
It wasn't like that before. It started after I did the head and the gasket couple of years ago.
I should've lubricated the cam lifters with proper cam lube before I put all together, but I didn't.
Must have caused some wear from initial dryness.
Diesel engines are generally noisier anyway.
I didn't think there's anything we could do to reduce the noise.
