[QUOTE="Roush6018, post: 16979365, member: 78571"] i have a tool in my mechanics box that goes in both ears and it has a rubber tube about 3 feet hooked to a metal rod. its a mechanics stethoscope. when i have the tool in my ears the running motor sound is quiet, like i have ear plugs in, however ANY tapping noise will be heard in the metal rod ( i think its a aluminum rod) will be heard in my ears. i recommend get one of these tools and place the rod ON the cylinder head near each exhaust port on the side we think has the problem. try to verify the tapping inside the head (possible exhaust valve) before taking the engine apart. i recommend get the valves looked at and fixed, new Fel-Pro MLS head gaskets and this would be a good time to make the switch to Evans water-less coolant. i have stock 03 cams and stock heads bolted to a built lower end, and i have so much fun every time i drive it. I also have a RXT and it made my car so much better. [/QUOTE]
