Default Noisy Lifters

I have already done a search on this, and it returned some good unformation. Apparently in order to stop the 'tapping' noise coming from my engine, i need to use some Nulon Lifter Free solution.
What I didn't seem to find though, was where abouts do I use this? I know its a dumb question, but I just want to be sure. I assume I just put it in where the new oil goes through the Rocker Cover? I am fine to just add this as is, or does the oil need to be changed?
My guess is that this has started happening because I thrash the c**p out of it most of the time I drive it. Which is usually only on the weekends now, and on the odd day after work. So this solution will be ok for now, or have I gone and killed my poor motor?

Evan

If you recon its safer that way, then I might wait a while as the oil is still fairly fresh. Thanks mate.

Change the oil. The noise is a sign of bad oil,old oil and the car doesn't like it. I am going to take a wild guess that you have mobil oil in there at the moment.I might be wrong though.

Yeah I copped that a little while ago. Tapped it's head off (only when hard stopping from high speed though) but then my oil change was overdue so my fault really. Changed it and haven't heard a peep from it.

But Stav, not necessarily caused by bad oil. Mine was very good Nulon stuff. Or did you mean bad oil in a different sense?
