Re: Excessive Valve Tappping 200 '92

posted by  someone claiming to be Albert on  Thu Dec 14 12:48 CST 2000 [RELATED]

My B230F (740) has never had a valve adjustment. It's about to hit 300,000 miles. The car has always (up until very recently) been dealer serviced. I asked about it once (about 220,000 miles ago), and the service manager replied that he's never seen valves out of adjustment on these engines unless someone messed with them. I had the same tapping noise, that was worse when cold. He said it was piston slap, and not to worry. I took his advice, the noise has not really gotten any worse, and the car rolls on.

Would anyone out there differ with the advice I received?
