Valves. Why they make a tap sound. Additives to quiet the tap noise. What you should know
Additives to quiet engine tap. Its Not Just a Tap. Its an advance stage of wear-out at work on your valves - explained below, along with its remedy.
Our remedy, shown above, ends the tap, slams the breaks on wear, and helps extends car life. Learn how. Learn a new way to protect your car and reduce car repair expense. The Problem Engines Have that Cause Tapping Each time you change oil, the watery, thin oil dirty drains out, but a sticky, acid loaded layer remains inside. In time... In time, excessive sludge forms and this causes all kinds of new problems. Of course changing oil does not remove the sludge problem because its more complex than any oil can handle. For example; Valvoline Oil Company Research reports, up to 100 gallons of moisture and 5 gallons of gas escapes pass the piston and causes sludge in the oil. This creates the cause of the tap problem.
You can see from this, some sort of wear-out negativity is creeping in. With friction, and metal-melting temperatures adding to the mix - there is trouble brewing in your motor. You don't know it, but, at this point in time, wear-out speed is 50% faster. Now is the time to end all this and your tap problem and get back your cars life and dependability. I'll show you how below.... First, let's consider.... How the tap develops. Great tips to end them Because of the nature of oil and gas or diesel fuel, the ingredient sulfur, or a sulfur compound, is always present. With combustion blow-by, humidity, and sulfur mix in your motor oil. The problem begins. In the oil, acids and sludge circulate with your oil. This "soup-like varnish" coats like tar on valve stems and piston rings and bogs them down. This slower movement creates a gap where, and when there should not be one. And your tap problem. See the illustration below.

Please Note: In a recent survey, not one in 100 tune techs and mechanics interviewed understand this "gap" significance. That is because they are trained to replace bad parts - not keep them clean. To do what is called a Engine Valve Repair to end valve tap noise runs from $1200 to $3000. I know, I'm a mechanic. My way cost under $100 and I guarantee it 100%. But, I'm an expert on all this and I have a clever, inexpensive remedy to end tapping - given as you read along.
Problems in the combustion area are bad. Notice in the drawing, the piston is rising, compressing the fuel it just pulled in. Its getting the fuel ready to explode. That pushes the piston down, making driving down the road possible.
The problem. Valves-should-closed quickly to prevent the gas the pistons needs to combust from escaping back out. But, if still the valve is still closing the fuel is pushed back out by the piston and less engine power is made. Does that make sense to you? So, you have a valve tap and a bit less power making ability. Piston rings also add to the tap and power detering problem. Piston rings normally seal-in that compressing fuel mix. When sticky, they cannot as quickly flex outward, to act as a blockage to seal in the compressing action of the piston. This allows some of the gas to seep pass the piston and go down into the oil. That is not good. Notice the arrows, showing how the fuel is push back out, or down into the oil. When combustion occurs, if the dirty rings are heald back from expqanding fully as they should, some combustion slips pass them and mixes in the oil below. Not good! Less fuel, less power. Less power, car speed drops. Sticky residues create gaps - taps appear. And... fuel waste, rough idle - and it even causes rough shifting, or throws the 3 shift points off.

Directions to end valve tap with the Mega Power Valve Treatment Two step procedure - Add the red product marked #1 to the gas tank. Add the black product marked #2 to the oil. Add the yellow product marked #3 to the air intake. Then drive the car. Driving does the fix.
- A week later, add the yellow product marked #4 to the oil 10 minutes fefore changing oil and filter. To the new oil add products #5 and #6 to the new oil.
These two steps is the only consistent method to end valve tap and the problems related and listed on this page.

Those complex problems require a complex solution, and we have it, and we made it simple for you. Oh yes ... there is... One more cause of the tap sound. Hydraulic lifters also cause a tap tap tap, when dirty. Inside the lifter is a tiny pencil-eraser size piston. One lifter for each valve. Motors can have 8 to 24 valves-and-lifters. So... Oil pressure always pushes against each lifter piston so contact is always pushing against the valves - closing any wear gap - for a quieter running motor. To keep this tiny piston pushing against the valve-stem is the job of a tiny one-way-valve, below the tiny piston. When sludge causes the tiny-valve-to-stay-open, oil leaks back out from under the tiny piston. The piston slides backwards, creating a gap between it and the valve-stem. Each time the cam pushes the lifters up to raise and open the valve-height it slaps the lifter - like a hammer tap against the valve-stem gap. Dirty lifters are the other place that needs special cleaning to end the tap sound. We have just what you need for this problem, too. The gap this piston made shortens valve-lift. Shorter lift means smaller openings to let gas in, exhaust out. Remember the rule: Less fuel, less power, more taps. Now, you may have a lift height problem on one or more parts and slow-closing problems with others. No wonder cars seem to need an overhaul - but my Mega Power fix cures all this in minutes.
