oops yea sorry 180, 180, 180, 125. but if it was the ring you couldnet hold 180 compression with bad rings. bearings would make a knock.. this is a tap. but thx. anyone else?

Do a leakdown test, it's either the rings or the valve seals.

actually im almost positive that neither of those to reasons would cause a tap. so it must be something else.

u could have more then one problem, find out where ur leaking then find out about the tap? i was reading some where else that bent valves can cause tapping, which would probly cause ur 125 issue too maybe?

Have you drained, flushed, and refilled with new oil yet? and just curious, how did you "almost" hydrolock it? Flooded street?
