Need Help From the Experts (Shawn, Andy) or Anyone Else

["Smokinn" <smokinn@crestview.sbceo.k12.ca.us>]

I have been working on this guys 88 Scirocco 16v.  Before I tear this guys
engine down needlessly, has anyone ever come across a tapping at high RPM.
More noticeable around 3K, with the engine under a heavy load.  Doesn't
really sound like a knock.  I was thinking it was his timing.  Checked out
fine though.  Car runs great, except for difficult hot starts he complains
about, not immediately after he shuts the engine down, but maybe an hour or
two later.  (Control pressure regulator maybe?)  Shawn.......need help on
this one guys before I ask this guy to cough up some big bucks to have his
engine rebuilt.
