Message: <blockquote data-quote="elwine30" data-source="post: 223845">sclim,one method to reduce the tapet noise is to use thicker oil and to change oil more frequent, i.e 3 months once. Also try engine treatment like X1R which helps. Since it's your new car, i would suggest you do oil change 1st and run it for 1K, then change oil. then one month later, change oil again. use the mineral oil 10w-40. Then do oil change every 3 months. It should helps. Since you need to change your tapets, it's adviseable if you want to keep the car. My advise is to do a top overhaul. You can purchase the top overhaul set from BA or 1st Div, then buy the tapets and also change the camshaft. WHen you do that, you can also change your distributor stuff or get a new set of plug cables. All these will cost you back till 3K. But after that your m40 should be long lasting, quiet, fuel efficient and powerdeful.</blockquote>
