	I have A 1999 Forester with 100K miles and it has a light valve clatter (seems to have always had some, esp when cold) that has gotten a little more noiser. Is this fairly typical of these boxer engines? Thanks, Mark

Sold at most auto parts stores - gunk brand or something similar. You put it in the crankcase and run the engine at idle for about 5 minutes and then change the oil. Follow the directions on the bottle exactly. You don't want to step on the accelerator while it is in there. This stuff really works - I have used it on multiple subarus with great success. It was actually recommended by a suby technician.

	2.5L Subaru engines have mechanical valve lifters and yes I can always hear mine at idle especially when cold. Mine at 86,000 miles are just a light rhythmic tap tap tap and fluxuates with rpm.

	Normal for my Forester. The valves are not loud just sits there tapping away at idle. If several are much loader then maybe an adjustment is needed but mine are just a nice rhythmic tap tap tap.

	I've had subarus since 1986, three of them. They all seem to have a rythmic tap akin to old air-cooled volkswagens, especially the older ones. -- If a job's worth doin' it's worth doing twice!
