So, I have a stock b20 with 18000 originial miles, and recently it started tapping, It didnt bother me at first just figured a routine valve adjustment was in order so I adjusted to factory standards all was fine for about 2 days then they started tapping again, I didnt want to deal with this anymore, and some of the knuckles were loose so I took them all at and put thread locker on them, this lasted for almost a week and now they are tapping again , if anyone has had this problem or knows any solutions for this any help would be great ;PP
