Hi Chaps
I know its nothing to be concerned about but I thought id try some Wynns valve lifter treatment to see if it would quite down the 1 second lifter rattle I get from cold.

Although it will not do the engine any harm and may help somewhere along the line when it came to reducing the lifter noise until the oil pressure does it didnt work.

I put it in about 3 weeks ago so its had plenty of time to do its thing.

My next hair brain idea last night was to put some slick 50 gearbox treatment in the gearbox to see if second gear will be easier when cold.

Once its warm it goes in a like a hot knife through butter. Again if it does not work its no harm or foul. Just had the gearbox oil changed about 2 weeks ago and that did help a little.

Ill keep you guys posted

Worth a try tho.
