What exactly are they, and if they're tickey is it a problem??
If so, what will happen, and how much to get sorted?
thanks
Hi mate, basically they are the tappets in the top of your engine. Evo"s are known to have noisy lash's. I just changed mine as the knock sensor was hearing the noise which caused it to retard the timing, (wasn't good). I paid £99 from www.camskill.co.uk for the adjusters, then two hours work at my local tuner (£100). If they are really noisy, its probably best to change them.
Hope this helps.

When they tap it's nomally because they get gummed up with debrits from old oil, doesn't harm the engine, more of an annoyance than anything.
As for fixing sometimes a couple of oil changes can cure them, if not they can be removed and cleaned http://www.lancerregister.com//showthread.php?s=&threadid=18708
failing that you can buy new ones with a slightly larger filling hole from various companies on this forum as stated above
