90% guarantee is engine oil.

Change so many items....your car will surely running better.

1) New oil....engine run smoother

2) New oil filter....nothing to block oil flow

3) New air filter....easy to breath mah

4) New spark plugs....bigger spark burn better

5) Faster idling....move faster

6) clean engine....feel clean

This is why you are so happy.

ya lor. So I'm really monitoring it now.....so far 2 weeks liao....morning start, no tappet sound. Still in denial mode coz for the past 4 years+ I've been hearing it. And I'm sure last time, everytime I changed oil (cxxxxxe also), I didn't hear the diff.

"5) Tuned the "slow" idling to a bit faster so that engine don't vibrate that much."

 

May I know what car you're driving ?

Sorry Ot a bit,

 

just sent in the galant for 30000km servicing.

noticed now when i accelerate above 2k rpm, i can hear vibrating noises coming from the aircon ducts like the engine is causing something to vibrate against something. [dead]

 

Do i need to do any belt changes or is something loose in my aircon vent? I must blast my ice in order to drown out these sounds [:/] car still quite new leh....any one can advise? [gossip]
