There's no reason why it should be reliable if you look after it, I've done 20k since I've bought mine and its cost pennies.________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Mine normally starts to make more noise when the oil 7k miles old so I normally change every 6. As said though, your issue is deffinatly not a valve. My old 6 had shoddy valves and tapped the moment you switched it on to the moment you switched it off. Good news then, sort of.  Although hydraulic tappet problems on these are pretty much unheard of, but I suppose anything can fail. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
