V3 Wrx...Just some questions =)

[Ninja8)]

Hi to all you scooby lovers...i just got a few noobie questions regarding a v3 wrx non sti....

firstly: while the cars running...hold/cold it seems to makeing a tapping noise alot..ive read ALOT of topics on here regarding it. and therefore this directs me to my 2nd question: Does a v3 non sti wrx have hydraulic lifters?? as from research on here..my tapping problem could be:

1. Hydraulic Lifters - im sure Mbl8?? could help solve that maybe??

2. BEB :'( now this is what im afraid of haha...but i dont think it is as when driving above 3000rpm and letting the throttle off..people say there should be a clunking noise indicating BEB about to poo itself.

3. Lifters or valves?? could lifters or valves be one of the causes of the tapping?? this im not really sure.

and yup i think thats all the questions i got.....for now ;D

thanks guys

V3 have solid lifters. It could have thrown a shim though. Get someone who knows them to check it out.
