Interesting. I had plans to go through that head like I am about to go through my '02 head. Gordon, which lifter was it?
Trey, did John do new valves in that motor? That '99 head had about 100k on it when the piston vomited all over it.

My BP4W head made the same noise, all shims were in spec, I wouldn't worry.
But if you want to worry, theres also the Rotrex. You don't have to go n/a! Jimmy from fujiracing is dropping the BP motor and doing a ITB 13b swap. So he's selling his ITB parts.

aww hustler, poooor hustler he got a bit scared. Man up, play with your dick, and its fine. My doofy 4W engine has sounded like that since new, ******* loud *** valvetrain D:
Itll be fine, if you are really feeling worried about it, just go jam your dick in the oil fill hole. So warm, mmmmmm

My engine made the exact noise before it gave out! The built one! ![Giggle](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/gay.gif)
Hustler, seeing colder temps in Texas finally?
I thought miata valvetrains were noisey until I heard a e30's on a cold morning. I thought something was going to come thru the hood.
