[QUOTE="differ, post: 318695, member: 399"] hahhaa, so many ka-ki-lang here... firstly, it's not conventional tappets. we mitsu ppl have special hydro lifters that are the CAUSE of that all-annoying tapping sound. like someone mentioned before, the main culprit is DIRTY LIFTERS. changing oil every 3000km helps a lot, using a higher viscosity oil. either mineral oil or semi-synth is good. once the sound starts, haha, no way to get rid of it except to service the lifters. once they start to jam, then you can kiss that particular lifter good byeeeeeeee... on my prev 4G93P, i did a complete change of the lifters (caused me a bomb) and started to practice 3000km oil change. the sound was gone for quite a while, then i miss the 3000km mark, and drove it for close to 4000km. lo and behold, the ghost of the lifters returned to haunt my poor car and i. with that said, i think a good service followed by frequent oil changes is the only salvation for us Mitsu owners. *pS: engine block k.o. soon after that (not related to the lifters) so now i've gone and replaced the P with a T behind the 4G93. i'm going to be very very discipline now and practice the 3000km rule!
