Hydraulic tappett replacemnt
Has anybody changed the hydraulic tappets on a 2.0ltr petrol engine? I am told these are faulty on my car because the engine misfires on start-up but clears after 20-30 seconds. Tried all the usual additives but it made no differance. It appears to be a big job? Thanks

It's not too bad to do - just very costly. The cams have to be removed so worth doing the cam belt and pullies as well as water pump at the same time (or live with it)
