[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 455815, member: 20757"] Update on this issue, guys...took my car in to replace the engine mountings this morning....at the same time asked my mechanic to take a look at the tapping noise......problem diagnosed as worn hydraulic valve lifters. Not a serious issue, apparently - engines will run fine even with the worn lifters. Using thicker oil will, however, minimize the issue by helping to retain more oil in the lifters when the engine is turned off. A more permanent fix comes in the form of replacing all 24 lifters in the engine. It's a RM2k + job......*gulp* Better start saving up then....LOL :D [/QUOTE]
