the lifters have started to make some noise just in the last two weeks, and there intermittent also, it will click for a few minutes and then nothing for a few more minutes, over and over.

any help is greatly appreciated
1st thing, regap those plugs. They should be gapped at .028 or so. That would explain the miss. lifter noise is normal, when was the last oil change and what oil does he use? What boost is he running and I'm assuming you meant BPR7ES plugs?
