rocker arms....check the oil? mine used to do that I think ....

no rocker arms on the Beta.. but I am betting your hydraulic lash adjusters were not getting enough oil to keep them pumped up.

i had the same prob after i used the same stuff, thats interesting....
if u do some listening with a stethoscope you will find the noise may be from your injectors. bc thats where my noise is from. i have 95k miles on mine, how bout u? my teacher (who is a certified dodge viper technician) says that with some injectors that have higher mileage, they will tick as they get old. only way to fix the prob is to replace them or ignore them.
