i had thought maybe injectors / boost solenoid , but thats more a clicking than a tapping. If you had the heads off , or car was sitting for ages it can be tappy till the oil had fully circulated again

thanks for the replys guys
i dont think its piston slap as its not loud and its there when its cold or when its warm, i was thinking the lifters maybe could be causing it doesnt seem to be causing power loss or anything just i can hear it so its annoying, i dont mind if its normal but if its not i would get it sorted out will try and get a video of it today all i can say to describe it is its like 2 small marbles tapping together
