Hey Gents:
Need some help. After initial start up the engine has a small tap that goes away a few seconds after it is running. The noise goes away when it seems that oil gets up from the pan and to the lifters. After the the rig has run the noise returns when the oil comes up to temp.
I have not changed the oil to see if that does the trick (will be this weekend). Next step is to drop the pan if noise continues. I have not done this before so I need to know what I should be looking for or does anyone have some other advise as to the problem?
Thanks in advance
Stacey
