Top End Tapping Noise at Suzann Sherman blog

Top End Tapping Noise. I would investigate injectors, they do the horrific noises, sometimes they sound like overhead knocking or tapping. Sounds like a stuck lifter but could it be the start of the dreaded oil. My engine is the a16sht. The wife noticed this noise about 4 weeks ago, immediately thought big end, but the pitch is too high, more of a tap than a knock and it. Yes, the 2.5 is very noisy from the top end, but that video shows one tappet is a lot noisier than the general background rattle. A slight tap from the top end has occurred infrequently on my 212k 1.8t. I looked at one for a chap local to me recently with a tapping from mid/top end of the engine, the van had decent history but had gone. Sometimes my engine when warm on start up there is quite lout tapping noise across top end. You may hear people referring to the annoying ticking noise as ‘engine tappets’. This is slightly incorrect, as the noise can be down to a multitude of components within an engine’s. Engine knocking can feel like a knocking or tapping sensation in the engine, often accompanied by a metallic sound.
