VW Citi Golf 1.4i

Post by FELDI »

Hi Guys
I have just completely rebuilt this engine. It has been standing for a period of about 9 months and just been fitted back in the car. On startup it got to an idle of about 1000 rpm and remained consistent BUT it has a very loud Hydraulic lifter/ valve chatter noise. I ran the motor at idle speed for about 6 minutes ( my thinking was that the Hydraulic lifters need to fill with oil ) but the chatter noise still remains. I let the motor cool for about an hour and tried again but the chatter noise still remains. Any suggestions please ???
