tapping sound

Pruven installed my hks 264/272 cams

Most threads I read aBout tapping is when engine is at idle

Mine doesn't really tap when at idle

it taps if I rev up to 1500-2000 rpm , is this a lifter causing it also?

thanks

No but the ticking is just annoying...the car is not going to break or prematurley wear out.

Ok, I mean I dont mind the ticking b/c its only at very low rpm but as long as it isn't bad for the car. It would be a pain in the *** to get it reinstalled.
I just thought if it was the lifters it was bad for the car?

My engine with stock cams makes this tap noise between 1500 to 2000rpm.

I do not know if it is a lifter or a thin oil or a normal noise on the 4G63

I dont mind the noise, just that the sound wasn't there with the stock cams
