Engine Flush

I have been working on the bodywork of my 300tt for some time now,:yawn: and each week I run the engine up until warm. I have sorted the tick over problems and set the timing etc' but I am experiencing a regular tapping noise.:hammer: It does not seem tinny enough to be a tappet (not that I would know anyway:sad:)and not clunky enough to be top or bottom ends. My question is, should I consider using an engine flush, and if so, what would you recommend? also, how do I use it to get the best results?

Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a hydraulic lifter sticking matey, get some "wynns hydraulic lifter treatment" from most car parts shop. Should quieten the little bugger down.
