Weird Tappet!

[turbolover]

Hey Guys.need some help.when i went to the chop shop n started the car there was no tappet.but after transplanting it thats when the sound appears.but whats bothering me is:
a)doesnt the tappet appear at the start of the engine?
b)why does mine appear only after i revved pass 3k rpm?
c)i hv different views from different mechs.
d)should i wait for the third oil change to see whether the tappet is still there?
e)is there any other problems besides tappet that sound like a tappet.
by the way i was using a 4g93 then change to a 4g93t

kinda normal for me.it is normal 4 93t got this tapet sound.to minimise it,change your oil to normal one,25w-50.pls dont put semi or fully sentetik.

thanks raja.so whats the best mineral oil to use?

my fren use 10w40 is nice.....depends on engine conditions...if engine not in so good condition, then use mineral lo...but lubricant wise, not so good...

Until now I'm still not so sure how exactly it sounds.. I get confused between a belt sound and a tappet sound .. LOL!
