Thanks Dean:
Oil looks good. No leaks of any kind, coolant or oil. M1 for at least a year, semi-synthetic before. Low pressure warning functions before startup. Don't believe there is sludge but I haven't actually checked as you suggest. Tappet sounds only after engine is fully warm. No tappet sounds when cold, which is the opposite of what I recall for sticking lifter symptoms, but the sound is very much like a tappet out of clearance. The sound seems to come from the front right (facing engine from front) cam cover (aluminum casting that is attached to the valve cover)area. I have listened with a stethoscope as well to isolate the sound. I will try the oil additive.
Mostly short trips. I am not sure I want to start pulling things apart but I would like to have some ideas on what if any repairs might be needed before I bring it in to my dealer. Thanks again.
