I would be inclined to get an oil pressure guage and check the oil pressure.

Could be big end bearings.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It is very difficult to advise on noises with out actually witnessing the concern but I agree the oil pressure should be checked. If it was a tappet issue I would expect the rattle to be constant while engine is running. A big end knock would typically either be constant or more noticable when "blipping" the throttle and not on ever run.

What engine are you runing? Could it be a flapping timing belt or chain?

engine rattle

Hi all,as I tried to explain the rattle only comes on when the van is croused.It does not matter what the speed is,when I back off from exceleration to crouse it will rattle.This is why I think it's the oil pump.I have renewed the Crank bearings and run them in.The engine is a 2300 VX slopper.Cheers+Beers,Jim.
