Hi guys

Looking for a bit of advice, got a 205 mi16 and when it gets hot it taps really loudly, when it's cold it's not that bad at all, still there but not that noticeable, could it be bent valves or is it more likely to be the lifters as it gets so much worse when hot?

Thanks :-)

what oil have you got in it?

with the age of them it wouldn't surprise me if there was a sticky tappet or a failed one.
