Welcome
Yep we have a small contingent of UK members here
Your tapping sound is from your Hydraulic Lash Adjusters (HLAs)
They are lifters which use engine oil to effectively 'pump' them up to eliminate the noises of Solid Lifters and ensure smooth operation
Thay arent to expensive to have fixed (you are able to change only the worn out ones) They wear exponentially when people dont change oil often enough or run with low oil levels
Effectively however the noise is not telling you that they are stuffed BTW
Have fun on your AGT journeys and we look forward to hearing from you more and more
