That was the obvious question I was going to ask.

If it is an SR20 and it had broken a rocker arm then the car would not run correctly(missing on 1 cylinder)

If it is a CA18 then it doesn't have rocker arms but are quite prone to crank float and bottom end failure.

sounds to me like bottom end failure, id pop off the rocker cover first and have a look to see if its the rocker arms though

he said the noise is comin from the top of the engine not bottom
most likely a broken rocker arm

Ive seen it a few times people thinking they had a tapping noise up top but it turned out to be bearings in the bottom end.
