Valves still tapping away? Hows the seal on the gas cap?

Default may help

check your canister lines,your gas tank could be getting all the pressure feed back from your canister and that could be good,i would start with that.

Slight Hi-Jack here...My 2000 4.0 has (since I recently purchased), sounds like a gurgling/draining in the lower engine area after ignition is off...Assuming oil??
But those damn assumptions!
