I'm after some suggestions on a fix for noisy hydraulic tappets, other than replacement. Has anyone used an oil additive that has shut them up?

G13's don't have lifters

They have rockers that run on the cam.

What engine are you talking about Scrawny?

My cat was noisy when I lifted it with my foot, so I fed it some Nulon, now it doesnt make a sound... any sound... it may actually be dead... either that or I stink.

It's an 03 Camry, 4 cylinder. Not sure what the engine code is

Not 100% sure but I think they are a bucket and shim setup.

You'll have to replace the worn shims with ones of the correct thickness to stop the ticking noise. Not easy unless you have feeler gauges, vernier calipers, a bucket/spring compressor and a box full of assorted shims.

I might have to pop the rocker cover off and have a look. I've done shims on 1HZ's before. It does sound more like noisy tappets though
