hi ive got a slight tap/rattle havnt got a clue what it is, can only seem to hear it on idle i cant hear it when i rev the car, and it doesnt realy fade when its warm, its not piston slap as bottom end only done 2000 miles since rebuild, seems to be more on passenger side than anything sounds a bit like the head maybe? not the block. i know only the bottom end was done nothing was touched head wise. i did 250 miles then changed the oil and changed again after another 1000 engine seems to run nice, anybody got any ideas

 

Loose valve clearance ??

It could be I'm not really great mechanicaly minded I'm good with most basic stuff, I wouldn't know how to check this tho

 

Any more ideas anyone and best place to go get it looked at and maybe sorted depending on price?
