   i bought a vtr about a week ago and its a great car,its done around 90K, but the top end is tappy as hell!
   usually the 8vs do clatter abit but this is a little more than i would like.
   does anyone know how to set the rocker gear?

   Followed that and it worked fine. Also could be your injectors ticking to cause the noise.
