2000 xj with 4.0, I noticed a valve tapping noise the other day for the first time. Also has a noise from the lower end when cold, that goes away when warm. From what I hear it is probably piston slap. The valve noise is what bothers me though. I run valvoline full synthetic 10/30. Oil pressure is 50psi at speed and about 30 at idle. Motor only has 44,000. This valve noise can't be normal is it? What could have caused it? I do have a warranty on it, would it just be best to take it to dealer?
Thanks
