Valve Tapping

[shark]

Has anyone seemed to notice more valve tapping/lash noise as they put on a few miles. I've notice a little louder tapping then it use to have. Not excessive just louder.

I changed the oil with 0w-40 at 4700 miles and have about 6800 now. I know the valves are adjustable just don't know if it's enough to hassle with.

Any comments appreciated.

It is the valves Eric the tech @ Milwaukee smart center noticed it on mine and he wanted to check it out. So I let him and they were all within spec. He asked smartech and they said that they are noisey because they are mechanical instead of hydrolic.

It is not the purge valve noise. I had that too but has all but gone away as I have driven it.

I'm pretty sure it is the noise due to valve adjustment. Not bad enough to scare me just louder than when I got it.
