Hi does anyone know why my 04 plate Suzuki Jimny rattles from top end until its warm Its done 80000 miles. Could it be the hydraulic lifters?
Cheers David.

Welcome to the forum. When was it last serviced? As in oil and filters?

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)

Rattles or a tapping noise from the tappets?

They don't have hydraulic lifters.

How many miles are on it? Single or twin cam?

If twin cam the valves have bucket shims but I think the single cam has adjustable lifters like the old SJ engine it's derived from but I don't own a single cam to have to do it, so I'm not sure.

The twin cams can get tapperty if the shims are not changed but it would take a long time before there's a really adverse effect on the running of the engine.

Regular oil changes with good quality oil are important. I've used fully synthetic recently and it seems to quieter it down a bit, albeit mine wasn't noisy.

If it's a rattle, check the exhaust manifold heat shield is not loose on one stud.
