also, what kind of places fo professional powder coating??? i asked around the area from a few well respected people and every says they have no idea for a place around my area that does powder coating.

This may be a stupid suggestion because I'm pretty sure the guy who posted this has tried but:


Have you tried checking the oil level? If its low the car may not have enough pressure with the cold oil to properly lube the valve train. If the oil was low it might also have let air into the hydraulic lasher adjusters and that could cause the tapping you hear.

yeah you are probably right broke. he said the problem was fixed after he got an oil change.
