Cold Air Intakes

On the K&N make sure all the excess oil is off them before you put them back in the car. Boy when that oil hits the Mass air sensor it drive things nuts.
 
For sure. I'm going to only put on enough oil to barely color the filter reddish. Any more and it fucks things up.

If the sound is like a "tapping", then more than likely it is a lifter issue. Lifters are often the culprit for most valve train noises, and depending upon your model of Galant, it could be a DOHC engine, which increases the chance for lifter noise. There isn't much that you can do, it plaques older vehicles more often than newer ones, but it can materialize at any time. It is often caused by out of adjustment, stuck or collapsed lifters and can often come and go. An oil change sometimes makes a difference, but ultimately the problem can be remedied by replacing the lifters and if the valve train is out of adjustment (due to wear caused by use, or just working themselves loose), then an adjustment may solve the problem. Now this is just one possibility. If the car is running fine, especially with that many miles, you may want to just grin and bear it.

Thanks for the info..And yeah the car seems to be running fine so maybe a oil change will get it to go away...
