<VV> Valve Rattle/Tapping :

[Rick Sanford]

Thank You, 

The car is driven on a weekly basis, on tours or to shows. We will try that spirited driving idea. After its driven a distance it does not quite down.

"Has rather low mileage"  "Quiet most of the summer"   "Now making noise"

I'm thinking that the car is not being driven frequently and that the lifters will pump up - and the valves quiet down if it is taken for a nice - longish and slightly spirited - ride.

Later, JR
