  • So that's where that tapping was coming from

    Sounded like some sort of lifter tap found out what it was.



    So it is the intake valve on my b8 16 valve comparison between both intake valves on the same cyl.

          So If anyone has any issues with hydraulic lifters try removing them, Blast some air into them if it is collapsed (use some oil to help if it sticks bad), squeeze it a little if you can with your hands just to ensure freedom of movement, I like to soak mine in oil for about 5 min and squeeze it submerged in the oil, put it back in the engine, dead crank it for a little until the oil light goes away and stays gone for a while, and start it up and drive it around with some high rpms so you can get the high oil pressure to that hydraulic lifter. That is what solved my issue I feel confident it can solve many others due to a friend of mine had a similar issue with brand new lifters on his mitsu 3000gt.
