does it occur regardless of engine temperature? To determine if it is the lifter you might want to try a different grade oil than what you're running right now. Worked on my 750iL.


Twice in the last month I have heard a rattle which seems to come from the lifters, but this may be just wishfull thinking. It happens on overrun and idle but seems to go when the power is on. By revving the engine it went away again today. On idle the noise was cyclic, coming and going over a 10 second period approx. Anyone else had this or know what it is?
Thanks John T.
