<VV> Valve lifter noise

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hugo,

Lifter noise after sitting a while is quite common.  Drive it for a half hour so it gets fully up to temp before doing anything else, that generally does the trick.

I assumed it was just that the oil had drained out of one of the lifters due to standing for a long time. But the next day the noise was back. Again it faded after a while. I've only been running it for about three days now, but if this is going to happen every day I shall need to do something about it. Has anybody else experienced this phenomenon?
