Default What is this sound damnit

So the engine is finally running now that I got a tune from madz28 but.......
I cnat find this loud tapping noise. It sounds valvetrain specific on the passenger side but it isnt a loose rocker and I can hear the tap through the exhaust sometimes and it gets quieter at a higher rpm.. I cant figure this damn thing out. Im gonna take a video of it but if any of you have an idea please let me know.. Thanks in advance.

-Chris

should be able to. simply bleed them the old fashioned way. one person pushing on the pedal the other opening and closing the valve. start with the ABS if it went dry. if not do the ABS last. i changed out the fluid in mine and the ABS module no problem. need to do it again actually. didnt have a problem. granted my system was working fine when i started, but there should be no reason yours wont bleed too.
