Re: Excessive Valve Tappping 200 '92

If you haven't had them adjusted yet, this would be a good time to do it.

I agree with Ed. 30k or whatever they suggest is pretty optimistic... I just did mine at 100k, but it didn't fix the noise. So I replaced all of the valve absorbers (underneath the valve buckets). That didn't fix the problem either, although the old ones were trashed. The good side of all of this work is that the car is really powerful... well, for a 240.

It appears that I have a noisy exhaust manifold, or gasket. I'll deal with that some other time.
