Not even sure this fuel injected beast has valves and lifters, but the noise
sounds like that...
And it seems to have gotten worse over the past 10k miles or so.
I have 105,000 miles on my 90 Westy Syncro though the P.O. claims to have
towed it behind their motor home for about 20k (had tow hitch on the front
when I bought it), so the engine may have only about 85,000 miles on it.
On start up the noise is quite loud (click, clack, click, clack) for a few
seconds.
Then the noise reduces by about half, but still too loud.
After driving it for several blocks... maybe a mile or so then then the
noise is gone.
I was using 20-50 dino oil.
Now I have 0-50 Syntech with a pint of Napa lifter cleaner in there. The
noise seems to go away sooner with the 0-50, but still sounds bad (as
described above).
Is this a problem?
Solutions?
Thanks
