Right. I go to one mechanic last year who does a bunch of work for me and says I need headers replaced due to tapping noise.
I go to another place who says old headers are ugly but fine - noise likely to be engine related. Could be cam. Could be skirted piston. Says book in for quote.
Who do I trust?
Second guy seems super honest. JP racing. Anyone used or heard of him.
If not who do I go to?
Going to the exhaust shops is no good cause they all wanna sell you a system. I just wanna go to ONE place which is super recommended or reliable.

Sounds like a cam or lifter problem . Windsors do break piston skirts so could be the problem . So go for the quote from the 2 nd guy .

if your exhaust manifold gasket is leaking that can also cause a tapping/ticking noise

As Lee said also . It could still be a lifter problem ? Clevos have non adjustable rocker gear ,so no rocker adjustment can be done unless it's a HO solid set up . Check for exhaust manifold or extractor leak .

Ok thanks guys. Can’t detect a leak myself and neither could second mechanic on first inspection. I’ll book it in to him to have a proper look over.
The headers are rusty and ugly but he seems to think there is no leak. He thinks cam or lifter prob. Big bucks to sort if so?
