Hi and thank you for you Super helpful and entertaining videos! I have a 2017 Subaru legacy 3.6 V6 with about 112,000 miles. The car seems to be running great… Maybe uses a little more oil than I would've expected, but have no complaints. I do notice that when I start the car and it's sitting there I can hear faint taps coming from the engine at idle. The only issue the car is had that I'm aware of is the radiator went bad and the temperature gauge shot pretty high for just a few seconds till I could shut the engine off and get more coolant in it and get it to a dealer to have the radiator replaced. That was about 30,000 miles ago and I've not seen any real issues since.
should I be concerned about the tops? What are they?
thank you very much, stay safe and keep producing great videos please!!
It's actually not a V6 but a flat six like in a Corvair or Tucker. In Subarus that engine is commonly referred to as an "H6".
You are probably hearing a valve tap, but that's just a guess. If possible please post a link to a video demonstrating the noise.
