Hi,
I have a 1992 Ford Festiva (carburetor engine) and i cant fix the engine ta pping noise, my mehcanic told me i need to replace the cylinder head, so we replaced it with a full assembly of cylinder head but the noise was still there... regarding oil pressure, my gauge did not show any abnormalities, i 'm suspecting probably i need to change the oil pump as well but am not sur e since there or no abnormalities at the oil pressure gauge. All bearings a re already new including the piston rings, but the noise is unnerving... th e noise is loud when cold but somehow reduces when its hot am using Castrol GTX 20W50 because its quiet hot here in my country.
Any suggestions how to fix this? do i need to sell my car or engine swap?
TIA,
Erwin
