Have to tighten the rockers.

Its not difficult and you dont need special tools so it might be worthwhile having a crack yourself.

check your vavle clearances as per the book but i changed my timing chain and my tappet noise reduced but then again the timing chain i put in was still only second hand as most places could not source me a timing chain not even nissan... tisk tisk

Mine were noisey as well so I checked the clearences but were all good and still makes the noise ... Fresh oil still no change .. Another mechanic told me that the fact that I have a bigger sports exhaust makes them noisey ???
Its NOT A FORD Its a NISSAN ....
