Sorry bud but to me that sounds like an engine apart job, why don't you do a compression test to see whether it is top end or bottom end?

does the noise appear on a cold engine? or only once warmed up? Little end bearings will rattle like that due to oil starvation, but you wont usually notice it until the oil's up to temp

i cant help but think a rattling injector, they dont fail usually but ive known a few on Rover/powertrain k-series
engines to do exactly the same,

4 litres wont show on the dipstick, 4.5-5 litres including oil filter,

Thats Proberly why...would it be sucking up oil even thought there 4tls in it with a fully drained oil system and new oil filter..

so thats why i said the oil warning light shud be on:shrug: unless it ant been working on dannys car thats why it sounds like that

Yeah ive had no oil light on the car since ive owned it plus i check the fluids ever sunday..

that sound too loud to be lifters.

is it me or does it seem to loose revs very quickly??

What could it be then?gonna see if awesome can sort it out...everyone i spoke to said it could be a lifter as they said it sounds just like that a dry lifters..
