Hi

Has anyone had problems with hydraulic tappets seizing up causing misfire on tickover brings up code p0301 have checked all normal checks plugs,coil, injectors and air leaks etc compressions are all 200lbs except no 1 which is about 180lbs so i'm suspecting tight tappet only misses on tickover slightly but drives ok under load any help would be appreciated can't think what else to check
