Ticking sound from comming the head

My car makes a similar noise but I've been thinking it is broken lifters. It reads around 21 counts of knock and there is a severe power loss, which I'm guessing is due to the knock sensor going off. Basically I am not able to boost and just running off the motor.
I have checked the turbo and everything is good with it. I have also been driving around like this for around a year now.
Were you guys with the spun bearings able to drive around at all?

The whole issue with rebuilding is you must make sure EVERYTHING is super clean. Make sure you flush out the intake cam as oil travels through it to feed the mivec gear. You also wanna take apart the mivec, I have lost two engines to bearing failures and metal always gets trapped in there. obviously replace oil cooler. flush out the filter housing well,pay extra attention here. I would replace the oil pump personally but it can be taken apart and inspected. Keep in mind this could have been what caused your initial rod bearing failure anyway tho. good luck

Im not positive but a quick fix could be using BG MOA. I used to have a 95 tsi with some ticking in the head, ran some bg moa through and within a few minutes it was gone. Your issue may be more severe such as bad lifters as opposed to just a sticky valve. For 10 bucks its worth a shot

It had a spun bearing. I replaced a bearings with a pan down and it spun again after the attempt to trade that sucker in Now motor is getting a full rebuild with new pistons, rods, crank, bearings, new oil pump and all the gaskets...
I should have not purchased this evo in the first place, especially when I knew the engine was bone dry from oil (turbo was stolen, so oil lines were out) Oh well you live you learn, in my case the hard way.
