Lifter Tap

TYTILIDIE

METH HEAD
So, I hop in the TY the other night ( had just driven it a few hours earlier ), and it sounds like I have sprung an exhaust leak. So, tonight, I get under there and there doesnt seem to be any signs of one so I tighten all my cat bolts just in case. Then, I go and inspect the downpipe by the turbo. Looks fine. So I figure what hell. I start it up and I hear it still. So I go to the motor and start reving it steadily and now it sounds like its coming from the valve cover. CRAP!!!!! Anyone ever had lifter tap on a not so old motor? I plan on adjusting them all tomorrow and am crossing my fingers for success. The only other car this has ever happend to me on was my 77 Monte Carlo. But it didnt have roller lifters or anyhting like that, just a stock 350. And when I had the tap it was a flat spot on the cam. Any horror stories out there for this scenario?
