Re: Tapping sound V8 3.9 Rover

That oil pressure sounds 'orribly low.
If the noise is worse when on low revs and high load (eg 30mph in say 4th) then it's either pinking or a bottom end gone. Pinking will be a tapping sound but a bottom end will be more of a knock.
I hate to depress you but the combination of low oil pressure and a knock sounds like a bottom end.
I hope I'm wrong.
Harry
