Well, I thought it was lifter sound. But It seems there is something else, mechanic said that its not lifter sound.
Have you driven your car yet or just taken your mechanic's word about the code not coming back? I ask because for example when my intake VANOS 2A82 code kept popping up, it took a long time for it to come up between one another. I swapped solenoids thinking my problem was resolved just for it to come up. It only came up when my oil was starting to get warm and if I left form a stop on WOT or accelerate the throttle very softly and then decide to accelerate faster. Sometimes I could drive my car for a full cycle and not have the code come up either.

Yes VANOS bolts but you can also have a bearing ledge issue that will also cause 2A82 VANOS code like I had.
