I love this car. It runs like a top. But, it has a noticable tap in one valve. Of course, it's only noticable at idle, but it's bothersome. Question: Should I have this problem corrected, or, just live with it ? What's involved with fixing it ? Expensive ? I need advice ! Thanks...

It could have been triggered by lack of oil changes and if that is the case, things will likely continue to get worse and multiply. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. flyingscot2364 User Mar 21, 2012, 1:50 PM Post #3 of 3 (1166 views) Re: Valve noise Sign In OK Hammertime.
