Not to worry it is the valves in the engine tapping because there is not enough oil pressure yet for the fluid lifters to take up the slack in the valve train, that is why it goes away after a few minutes and also why you should always let your engine warm up before driving. a rod nock
The loud tapping sound can be caused by a complete heating of the engine. Worn tappets can also cause the tapping sound.
no
You may have a stone stuck in the tread.
A tapping noise might come into the engine because of heat damage to the lifters of the motor. You might also hear a tapping sound if the engine has been damaged due to a blown head gasket.
The A has a short A sound, and the I has a short I sound.
It COULD be caused from the lifters bleeding down after the enginge has set for 2 months. Lifters make a tapping type of sound. Oil has a tendency to drain away from parts after sitting for a while.. It may even be your bearings were making noise. Bearing make a knocking..hard rapping type of sound. If the noise went away after a short time, it ain't no biggie. If it still makes noise you may want to have a tech inspect it.
The noise has been coming from the engine for the past week and I have been told it might be the oil pump not providing oil to the sump. The tapping sound comes from the engine and increases when i change into a higher gear and drive faster. Please help!
Sound like your fuel/air ratio is not correct.
lifter tick or a spun rod bearing
sound like you cam followers (if overhead cam) or lifters are making noise. Could be low oil pressure to the head.
No. There is only a short A sound and a short I sound.
Valves tapping?
