Top end noise 3.9v8

(1/3) > >>

big tim:
When first started up my v8 rattles from the top end sounds like lifters this only lasts for a few seconds till the oil pressure has built up once running its as normal.My only concern is that it hasn't  gradually  been getting worse but appeared one morning last week. I have changed the oil to a 15w40 mineral and fitted a genuine land rover filter as per normal.The engine has done about 113,000 is this something that i should be concerned about or is it just wear and tear cheers Tim

just my opinion

Range Rover Blues:
What oil did you have in before?
Did you use an oil flush?
Did thsi start as soon as you put new oil in or soon after?

What's happening is the oil is draining out of your lifter overnight, it then refills once the engine is running, it' snot a biggy other than one of your lifters leaks a bit.

I'd expect it if the engine stood a week or so but overnight is a bit quick.

CAM FOLLOWERS! As they turn they find the flat spot and tap.Sometimes they tap and sometimes they dont.
