I have got a strange tapping noise coming from the engine. What could this be?

Sorry, I was distrcted when I was typing that. It's a 300
Listen to it with the bonnet up and take the oil filler cap off. If its obviously coming from just under there it could well be the tappets and just need adjustment. Ive also had a 300 with more of a knock, and that turned out to be one of the pistons just about burned out.
It sound like the good old diesel knock but a lot louder
Think mine was number 2 or 3.number 4 usually.
The burned out piston sounded like this, are you getting smoke? Are you sure its not a tap instead of a knock? Try opening filler cap and see if its ticking from inside there, i hope it is cos thats a lot easier to fix.It sound like the good old diesel knock but a lot louder
