I have been working on a 444 with a B16 that I recently bought. The engine seems to be in very good shape, runs well, good compression, except there is one strange noise. It's a tapping noise that definetly seems to be coming from the cam/lifter area. First I thought it was the valves sticking or something like that, but after removing the inspection plates I have changed my mind. It is definetly not a bad bearing noise. The old owner mentioned the noise and said something about the timing gears, but I haven't gotten it down that far yet. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark H
