If it's a distinct sound you can even find which cylinder that causes the sound by feeling with a standard flat screw driver. Just hold it loosely with your fingers and press the driver against the cover. It's pretty accurate and sometimes it's possible to feel which valve that causes the ticking.
EDIT: The adjustment is a really simple operation. Make sure the valve is closed (open up the spark plugs makes it easier) and then stick the "blade" - as Elusive wrote, either 0.20 or 0.25 (or 0.20 and 0.05 together) - in between the valve and the rocker (lifter). Then adjust with the screw on the rocker until it's tight. Don't tighten too much! You're supposed to be able to move the blade, when you feel a little bit of resistance it's perfect. |

Unless you didn't for this conversion after all:
I checked earlier in the thread, you posted that it's a -95. All 95's are with hydraulic lifters. My fault.  |

Hi there vw friends!!
Stumbeled across this web page just now and came to remember ALL the good help i got from you guys last autum when i swapped my engine. Sorry to say that the car got sold. I was a student at the time beeing and i could not afford a new exhaust and front wheel bearing. So now im driving arround in a vw transporter T4 2,4D. A steady runner  . I miss my sobsyncro bus verry mouch from time to time, but i know the car is in good hands.
So thanks a lot guys (especialy Elusive and Rjes) for a LOT of help, patiente and a great forum =)=)=)
