'99 E430 Sport "valve tap" when cold--less when warmed
Hi group,
This car (M113 motor) has a rather loud what sounds like a tappet noise when car is started cold and gradually disappears when warming up.
I would like to know the procedure for replacing the tappets on the left bank once valve cover is removed AND are there any Mercedes specific tools needed?
Thanks!!!

Out Of Control!!
Not a simple question and not a simple answer. However if and when confirmed as a valve train related noise and you decide to change/adjust what is necessary, I would spend the 20 bucks for a 24 hour subscription to MB WIS for all the instructions, torque requirements, parts and what if any special tools are required.
