Engine tapping

Yes, gas all the way down when you're cranking the engine.
Just for the hell of it, what is your engine serial number? It's on the white sticker next to the crank pulley. I'm leaning towards an oil-jet issue.
I had a customer engine fail like this, and he was SC'ed. I got a copy of the recall letter from the UK. Even though it was in Dutch, I pressed the issue and threatened to stomp my feel if I don't get some help
They covered the new engine, and charged 500 for R&R of the SC.

i checked a while back, cant read the number. but its an early 02. think feb 02 off the sticker in the door.
i'm off to do the test, i'll post some numbers in about a hour. I'd be more then willing to try anything to get it fixed

In this pic, if you look just to the drivers side of the head gasket where it says INLINE PRO, you'll see a rectangular box. the engine serial# can be found here as well.

this is how i did it (hopefully right)

Also as seen the number 4 spark plug was much darker then the rest. they got about 2K miles on them
numbers
#1 1500kpa - 220psi
#2 1500kpa - 220psi
#3 1550kpa - 225psi
#4 1550kpa - 225psi
number three and four where very close to 1500kpa needle was a tad bit over it.
here the engine after the test. almost no tapping, maybe a little towards the end. like i said, it's not always there.
you can hear it around 40-45 and towards the end

i agree with billman... sounds very similar to my car... that had a scuffed bore...
There are vids of my car on here as well... with the same noise... if you don't mind the noise... and dont go WOT, you can keep the car running like this for a while... just check oil consumption
