Perhaps the camshafts got a little oil-starved... I used Castrol Magnatec to quieten down my Nova as it sounded tappety and that done the trick. During looking for a solution to this sort of problem, a friend said I could get an engine quietner treatment... I found a few and after trying a SPX version and it not making a blind bit of difference, I deem these solutions a waste of money! I stand corrected but I found that these are no substitute for an oil change using good quality oil. Hope this helps but then sounds like you managed to solve the problem yourself! _________________ Driving a 99' Vitara JX 4U2...
