Consumer Description

VALVE TAP ON COLD START LASTS APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE. GMC CLAIMS IT IS CARBON BUILD UP IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND WILL NOT DAMAGE THE ENGINE. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY. ANY TAPPING SOUND IS INDICATIVE OF LACK OF LUBRICATION AND WILL PREMATURELY WEAR THE ENGINE OR ITS COMPONENTS PARTICULARLY AFTER WARRANTY RUNS OUT. SEE SERVICE BULLETIN #01-06-01-028A. OR DOCUMENT #1271016 "ENGINE KNOCK ON COLD START". *NM
