    tapping sound

    hey i noticed that i have a "tapping" sound i notice the frequency of it changes as the rpm's are slower or faster wehn im not moving, could this be rocker tap? and does anyone know what the specs are for re-torque'n stuff liek the springs and rockers

    take the valve cover off and check the valve gap. if it is too big you will hear tapping all the time.
