From cold my redtops really 'tappy'.. When it warm it's fine, why is this? And is there anything I can do to stop it?

Cheers, Robbo

its just the way they are with the lifters. replace them but more than likely will still do it.

its a thing they do when cold on a higher mileage c20xe but replacing them does get rid of that noise. but u do have to drop cams out to get to them. worthwhile if good on the spanners.

A lot of people say change the oil regularly too.

Mine only did it when it was really cold weather - is fine atm even straight after turning the key.
