ive got a silver top zetec turbo in my focus, hit the limiter today and it started to missfire then cut out i started it up again and it sounded like it was fireing ok but there is now a tapping noise coming from the engine, anyone know what this could be? thanks

have you got plenty of oil in the engine as it could be the tappets or maybe a bent valve , but my fiesta rs 1800 bounces off the 7000 rev limiter every day

ill have a look under the cam cover and top up the oil if it needs it tomorrow, how can i check the tapits? and is there a way of checking the valves without taking the head off? cheers

You can check for a bent valve by doing a compression test, the zetec should be quite happy at the limiter all day long.
Most likely just a dodgy lazy hydraulic tappet.
