Oil treatment for tappets?

[Tucks]

Is there some sort of additive you can add to oil which you would use to help bed in a new set of cams or to quieten down noisey tappets? I think ive heard it mentioned before.
If so where do I get it from?

Forte advanced motor flush and Forte top end treatment. Best stuff you can buy, available from ebay or local garages as its trade only.

available on the site.

we flush the engine to clean it out with the fotre engine cleaner

then use new oil and the top end treatment...

works really well.

Thanks guys.
Il get on the case......

Quick question, but could I use the Top End Treatment even though my tappets are manual and not Hydraulic. Would I still see some benefits, i.e. Quieter operation?

Thanks.

unlikely, they are easy enough to adjust, even i can do it lol !

Alritey. Was just curious to see if this would also help after having them set.

Cheap, and from what i hear best soloution, change oil to mineral oil, run fi a few hundred miels and change back to fully synth, sorts the problems right out.

Tucks you really ought to get over to williamsclio where you get proper advice
