1.8 in a Clipper is almost certainly going to be hydraulic self adjusting tappets.

Its not unusual for them to rattle a bit at startup but should quieten down after a min or two.

You could try some engine flush and a new filter and fresh oil to see if that works.

1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I actually know really little about engines.
I just remember reading this a while back.

On my old Mk1 1.6 carb engine it was a solid lifter head. I dumped that in the bin, and stuffed a Mk2 GTi head on. Loads better.
