tapping W124 cure

[vin230]

I thgought I might need to have my tappests looked at due to a very noisy top end clatter. Sounded really bad.

But, before spending loads of cash, I thought I would whip off the cam cover, take off the oil spray bar and give it a good flush through with carb cleaner.

Guess what? I piece of crud came out out! I flushed through until cleaner came out all the holes, and put it all back together.

Presto, a nice quite engine once more. I love these cheap fixes!

Result. Well done. Wonder if it could do with an engine flush and an oil change at some time soon. One of the craftsmen will be along soon to advise more.
