Finally got her on the road!, BUT?????? Options

My first air cooler (type 4) so excuse my possible ignorance, but does a normal good running type 4 sound a little clangy and tappy until you rev her up a bit? Have the timing set and good plugs Also adjusted the valves. Just wanted to know if things are normal or maybe I have big problems. Thanks

Thanks for all the thoughts and advice and threads over the last few years when I was trying to put this thing back together after just a weekend and a few days of totally disassembling it boy did that seem like a stupid idea after I looked at all the boxes and plastic sandwich bags with labels on them. I adjusted the lifters per Richard Atwell at Ratwell.com I read his article many times to understand what was going on. I have a few kinks to work out but soon hopefully I’ll be meeting up with all you locals in the PNW. Maybe I’ll get brave enough one day to drive it down to So Cal. Idk that involves a lot of confidence and trust in my hard work and the design of the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) either way I’m excited about getting it out and meeting up with the other crazies that sweat and labor over these awesome ankle biters. Thanks again all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
