I thought it could be just a lifter tapping, but normaly it goes away after 20-40 seconds right? Well mine goes on untill it gets to running temp. and even then it still taps a little bit under 1500rpms, anything above that it goes away. Does anyone know what it could possibly be, and have any solutions to it. If it is a lifter tapping would a thicker oil help it any, and if it is a lifter should I replace it or worry about it?
