It may be worn out valve lifters that are inside the engine. If you have more than 6,000 miles on the oil, valve lifters could run noisier. Changing to a high mileage type of motor oil may quite down the valve lifters noise somewhat. Synthetic oil used during the summer months could make it noisier too. If you can hear the noise while driving the car, it is not normal. Upon acceleration, if it gets noisier, you will be needing a valve job in the not to distant future.

What will be the problem if i have a taping noise when i start my car until it gets warm mitsubishi 380
A tapping noise that starts out cold and goes away when warm is usually caused by a valve lifter inside the engine. The lifter may be worn/leaking down and will be noisy until it fills with oil pressure. You can try an oil additive ( Lucas Oil Additive ) available at most part stores works very well with noisy lifters. Another noise that can happen cold and go away when warm is an exhaust manifold leak. However, this is normally a ticking type sound rather than a tapping sound.

Wat must i do wen the cams is making sounds
have it adjusted ASAP, HOPEFULLY THAT SHOULD CURE THE TAPPETY SOUND. It may be that the sound is indicative of heavy wear, this may necessitate the camshaft's replacement.

What is causing
There is a possibility that you have a bad oil leak some where. Check valve covers, oil pan Etc, Good-Day! The sound you hear from engine, is because there is little oil getting to the tappets on engine for the valves. Sounds like the oil is running down on hot exhaust manifold, and smoking.That is the smell. Have it checked by a mechanic to find cause. Of oil leak!

Can the tappets be adjusted on a Hyundia Tucson 4 x 4 V6 ,2.7 petrol engine?
Not normally, if they are noisy you can try a heavier oil in the engine.

A 10-40 vrs a 10-30 and change the oil at 5000k religiously.

or you add an oil additive to knock down the noise.

eventually you will have to replace the tappets.
you may want to pull the valve covers and verify all valve rockers are torqued correctly -- looseness hear can create noise.

Engine noisy when starting like type writer sound how to adjust valve clearance. mitsubishi strada 1995 model
they are not adjustable. remove the valve cover and see if any of the rocker arms move up and down more than the other, than remove the rocker arm to see if there is a little bullet looking piece. try to squeeze it with your fingers. if it does than replace it. hope this helps.
