Hello Members,

I've noticed that recently, after doing a mountain run (Redline, windy roads) that at idle, the valve tapping is horrendously loud even from inside the cabin. Oil is 100% full and checked (0w-20) and the tapping is noticeable for about 30 seconds after coming to idle.
I know that valve tap is noticeable on these engines but I'm speculating that there are some oil flow issues to the heads, anyone had similar issues on track etc?

Thanks,
Jeth
