Hi all
my 560 sec has a worn tappet , is there any way of finding out which one is noising as I do not wish to replace them all. I know which bank of cylinders but how do I find out which one?.

Regards
Mike

Ok Snap-on do a stethescope thingy , you need to find a friendly mech with one. you just listen to the top of each cyl to determine which one it is. Europarts have the hydro lifter bitts you need - what oil do you use ?
if to thin will give you that prob !! :lol:
