Vauxhall Astravan engine making tapping noise
I've just put a second hand engine in my 2001 Vauxhall Astravan. From what I can tell, the engine was good and the only thing that needed changing was the fuel pump. However, I started it up and it is making a loud knocking/tapping noise from the top end of engine. Any ideas what this could be?

Might be an airlock between the fuel pump and the injector rail.
