I had a tapping noise when accelerating a few weeks ago, was the exhaust manifold gasket.

could be the hydraulic lifters, but if its not that i'd have suggested check everything that uses oil, or pulleys and belts

The only person would be a trained mechanic who knows what they are listening for. Is it banging, tapping, rattling, whistling, blowing? Could litterally be anything, is it top end bottom end, gearbox? I VERY much doubt anyone on here owns a crystal ball.
