I'm at wits end trying to figure out tapping noise towards rear of 470, sounds like aa lifter tap. Installed new lifters , still tapping at idle and and gets louder when reving up.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Checked plug it is good, sounds like noise is coming from bottom left side of engine
