Tappets

[Mattie]

Was just wondering guys whats the average price people have paid to get there tappets changed?

Mine are starting to make some noises now and im wondering if its worth getting them changed?

Cheers,

Matt :)

On e-bay there are a few different companies that supply them, from between 50-69 notes delivered.

You can change them urself with the aid of a Haynes manual.

ive heard some people say that they have changed there tappets and there is still a tappety noise there afterwards

What else can it be? oil pressure i suppose if the pump's tired?

I'm replacing both anyway :wink:

True that!

Had Nick re-build my head, new parts and still tappety from cold... it's not bad, but it's just one of those things. Goes away when it starts to warm up. :) But at least I know they're new I suppose.
