Niche Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 how loud? everyone has a different version of loud.i would try an oil change first with quantum synta gold and an oil filter, you may also wish to run an engine cleaner such as 'forte engine cleaner' available off the bay of e as it may help to free the sticky tappets.
