Been gone for awhile. I took a few 100 mph passes, changed the oil with Amsoil 5w 20 and added 8 oz of miltec to the oil and all my noises are gone. Thanks for the replys. By the way, the tapping was from the top of the motor. I'm thinking a sticky valve spring or something like that. As for my choice of oil, you can't go wrong with Amsoil and the weight, well that is debate. Miltec??? great stuff. It's weapons grade lube.
