the noise seems to be coming from the top of the engine or around that area, its not the more quiet ticking noise some people have when they start their car, this is alot louder

started my car up last night, and whenever i went over 2k revs a tapping noise would start happening, this also happened if i took my foot off the accelerator. The engine also seemed to heat up alot quicker than normal,
my car is a 1.4 8v sri, any ideas of what the problem could be (the car was quite low on oil when i checked so could it be something to do with tappets):(
