I have noticed a valve tapping noise getting louder. I went to the dealership and they said, " The engine has not completely broken-in yet. That happens at 10,000 miles. Then the valves will set in place and the noise will go away."

The tapping sound is there at idle and sort of gets quiter as the RPM's increase.

OOOKKKKAAYYY.... Anybody out there know this to be a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, none or all to be true.
