hi there, i have a 1999 impreza uk turbo 2000, it has got full service history, always used fully/part synthetic oil, now its got fully synthetic oil, its driven hard sometimes, the tappets have gone extremely noisey and i think i can also hear some piston slap, the car is also jerking sometimes when driving, does this mean the engine is on its way out? or is it repairable? thanks.

Sounds like you need an engine rebuild-its repairable
