How loud should tappets be? My oil is over a year old now, and it is getting up to temp but it is the winter, should a change of oil make them quiet? I only adjusted them a couple of months ago.

    If it's a year old change it anyway, new filter too, only a couple of quid and 10 minute job.

    i will be changing soon, but it gets a top up of fresh oil now and then anyway so it isn't massivly old. Can you hear your tapets at all? I used the readings of 12A engines in haynes manual the time I did it.
