TAPPET NOISE
[TO08400( M)01/96]
It is normal for the oil to drain down from the
hydraulic tappets in your engine during
extended shutdown periods (overnight). As a
result, these tappets may clatter for a few
seconds after the engine starts until oil pressure
builds up. This momentary start-up noise is
normal and is not harmful to engine operation.
