maybe a faulty oil pump, since there were some case which the oil pump cracked on first generation campro engine
better bring to workshop to check or proton sc

I don't think you're hearing tappet-noises... should be close to pre-detonation. But then again, these engines should have knock-sensors & you shouldn't be hearing it...
Perhaps the oil is too light?

I thought these engines have hydraulic tappets?

Sorry... just guessing. I drive a carbie :P

you got a point there, running on too light engine oil also will face the tappet-noise problem
suggested engine oil for CPS is 10w40 semi, don't use other grade than that

yup campro engine running on hydraulic tappet
