All,
I picked up a lightly used "X" (09) and it has a noise in the top end on one side. Sounds to me like a lifter or tappet. The sound is only there when the engine is cold. After 3 minutes or so or when the engine gets up to temp. The sound goes away and runs as quiet as a mouse. I have added some sea foam to the oil hoping to clear any possible clog age. But no change. Besides taking it to the shop, any ideas??
