16V Lifters ticking?

[MK1Scirocco16v at attbi.com (Dave Ewing)]

Uh, that wouldn't be clicking lifters, it would be valves tagging the
pistons.  I've seen this done on a car that came into the shop once and all
we did is adjust the cam timing back a little with no adverse effects but
you definately pushing the envelope advancing that much!!

> I over-advanced my ignition timing by a few degrees the other day, and my
lifters started making a ticking noise when I start the car for a few
minutes.  Why would advancing the ignition timing make the lifters tick?  Or
is it completely unrelated?  I'm gonna set it back tonight to see if they
still tick, but I just wanted to get anyone's input first.  Thanks.
