Why is my Kia Sorento's engine making a tapping noise?

I recently bought a Kia Sorento and noticed that the engine is making a tapping noise. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

It is not normal for your engine to make a tapping noise. This could be a sign of low oil pressure or other issues. It's best to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

Sometimes a tapping noise in the engine could be caused by dirty or old oil. Try getting an oil change first and see if the noise goes away.

I had the same issue with my Kia Sorento. It turned out to be a faulty valve. I suggest taking it to a Kia dealership for a proper diagnosis and repair.
