it will be one of the lifters in the 12 rocker arms.
its quite common, things like a change of oil can fix it, or could be down to ware and tare, if its shotch its not hard to replace, just very fiddly and can be time consuming if you dont get it right 1st time, just ask anyone whos done a camchange haha. |
