I think I'm right, I blew the cats.

Consider this:

1. The last injectors I had were marked wrong, they were marked 40, not 37 and my FP was a bit high, the car had gas dumped all over the place.

2. My heated O2 sensor wasn't working right, it was reading lean when it wasn't. Therefore, it was dumping fuel.

I believe gas probably piled up in the cats, and blew today. Therefore blowing the cats up internally, cloging the exhaust.

Backpressure would explain the high engine heat too.

As for the valve tap, it's not really that bad, slight adjustment. It was doing it before the problem anyway.

So I suspect that the shit in the cats is now logdged sideways somewhere in the exhaust.

Comments?

Sounds right to me, and the valve tap or lifter noise could be attributed to the blown cats adding all kinds of back pressure.
