I'll give it an oil and filter change as recommended first tho. Also, the loud tapping does not sound like piston slap imho. Its to regular if you know what i mean. Its a definate tap tap tap tap tap....very loud, but does seem to be coming from the vert cylinder (so piston slap may be the case). Is there any other possibilities other than tappets and slapping?

oh and one other thing....are belt changes a diy job for me (a competent car mechanic) as shown here YouTube - cacycleworksdotcom's Videos
Belt's are not so hard. Even I could do it.
