Tapping 2.5 conversion
Can someone help? just completed a 2.5 conversion using a brand new block and my existing version 5 type r heads, started her up and am now getting a tapping noise from the passenger side cylinder head, heads were striped and cleaned of any blockages before assembly, as i know the oil restrictor can get blocked. Apart from the tapping engine seems to be running fine.Im using a good running in oil (Millers). Any ideas?
Thanks Ryan

Hi mate, tapping dose get faster with revs, as far as i know all shims/tappets went back in there original places. I'll have to check the valve clearence to double check, can this be done with the engine in the car?
Thanks
Thanks

On this subject we have a very similar problem, took the cam cover off yesterday found that valve clearances were correct ( type ra heads, solid lifters, shim under bucket ), but still have a really bad tapping noise. Is it possible for the shims to be incorrectly located and the clearances still look ok??

That's what I thought originally but can't agree one hundred percent have had a better look tonight and had the engine running with a 'listening stick' and to be honest I don't think it is coming from the tappets. It is definately coming from the rhs of the engine area but just can't pinpoint it. with my listening stick against the rh rocker cover, the sound is the same as the lh side so now very confused.

i tried to convince myself that it was something else but in the end i removed the engine and cams and found 1 shim just not quite sitting right, there is not a lot else that taps on them unless its piston slap on big ends.
