Good evening good people of this forum, been a while since coming on here!!
Has anyone experienced a ticking noise from a VP aqad41a? Sounds like it's coming from a valve so checked clearances and adjusted as necessary but none of the them where out really. On initial start up the noise is not there but starts a few seconds after start up and gets more pronounced the warmer the oil gets. Oil pressure on the gauge shows 2-3 bar at tick over. I'm thinking an oil issue but not sure what type of oil problem!! Does this engine have hydraulic lifters??
Cheers
Neil
