Sounds like someone had a wild stab at what might be "wrong". Probably just the valve clearances, auxiliary pumps or water pump etc... I had tappy noises from my H22a8 but it was my water pump.nonamecc79 on Gumtree wrote:There is a tapping noise coming from the engine. Been told it may be an O-ring or head gasket. However the car starts and drives absolutely fine!!

H22's are not known for that at all. I'm guessing it's been badly abused at some point in its life...
