That's excellent news and thanks for concluding this thread. Just to be clear though, as you had two threads running, is this an accurate summary of the outcome?
  • The misfire was an incorrectly gapped sparking plug.
  • The tapping noise came from the hydraulic tappets which responded to several applications of flushing oil.
