    First you need to post an introduction and include telling us where you are and what engine you have.

    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?

    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??
