When I start the machine (xj), I get a rattling for a 1-3 second time period, then it goes away. After that it makes a thumping sound through the exhaust that is synchronized with a tapping in the engine.
I have a new APN on it and I cannot see any exhaust leak near the usual places, but how would I check for a leak in other areas?
I also pulled the valve cover off and looked at everything and nothing seems to be ab-normal, but I have to say that I am not used to a push rod valve system. How do I check for a collapsed lifter?
Do I look for play in any part of the valve system?
Please help!!
