Need more detail; what engine, when does the noise happen (at idle, revving etc), does it change as you rev?

I had something like that a few years back - this post below lists some tests that will help:

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, ever since buying the car and moving house, I've lost all the paperwork and receipts. Based on information from other Robin Hood owners and the little information I got from the previous owner a couple of years ago, I think it's a 2-litre Pinto engine, and the donor car was a Sierra. Also, I believe it has R1 carbs.

So the tapping is during idle and yes it probably gets a little louder on acceleration.

There is a loud tapping noise coming from the engine when it's running. Has anyone had this issue ? I'm new to the kit car game so any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide some photos aswell. In the meantime, I'm waiting for your help, spinning slots on the site and earning money for car repairs.

Thank you 

A faulty fuel pump may make a ticking sound as it tries to efficiently deliver fuel to the engine.
