Engine cold and tapping

Hi all

I've got a 91 explorer. I've noticed that when I start it in the morning there is a rapid rhythmic tapping sound in time with the engine. It goes away when the engine is warmed up. I don't know if something is shot in the engine or if it's a sympathetic vibration. Any ideas?

Thanks

Marco

The tapping that you have is a fairly common problem. Here's a link to more info--->> https://www.ford-trucks.com/dcforum/DCForumID107/1802.html

Thanks all
