It could be knocking big end bearings tho.
Altho if its a light tap from the top end its definently lifters.

The engine wont go bang!!It sounds like a knackered lifter on the engine.I presume its an x14xe?It could also be an oil problem.Id change the oil and filter and flush the oil out with engine flush then refill mate.If that doesnt fix it then get the lifters out and replaced.I think that will sort the problem.:thumbs:

Had my car in a garage for a week, it was giving a really bad clicking noise from the head. The garage found the oil strainer was blocked so they reckon that was the problem, it still makes the noise. They said its not safe to drive and could go boom, but they havent even stripped the head down to see what has happened. What do you reckon i should do? get the engine stripped or get a quote on a new engine -1.4 16v corsa by the way. So annoying seeing as i need the car for work!
