Sure it doesnt need a top up of oil? When my tappets start getting real noisey its because there isnt enough oil in it, top it up and they go quiet...

Put the ignition on and see what level the oil gauge is on!

or use the dip stick?? i wouldnt trust that gauge at all! being french and electrical!

the forte top end treatment worked for me! altough they were'nt all that noisey, and i ran decent fully synth oil in it

Does depend on oil too....some brands will quieten them down...others wil make most sound like a bag of nails

As per Oilman's advice to me to quieten mine down on my car, try using a top end fully synthetic oil such as Motul 300v and then try some top-end as well. My guess is the oil and filter need a good change on the car if it's quite old.
