Hello Mate,
Ive Done A Re-build On My F7p 16v 1350 Miles Ago. Same As You, Everything Replaced & I Mean Everything.
Ive Also Got Noisy Tappets Right Up Untill It Reaches Temp & They Were Brand New From Renault!
I Had A Few Problems With Mine & Its Only Just Gone Back In Again, All Fixed Now But A F@£king Nightmear! I Had A Really Bad Squeak Just Before It Came Out Again, It Ended Up Being The Engine End Plate Leaking Oil Onto My Aux Belt & It Was Slipping, Causing The Noise. Problem Is You Just Cant See Down That Side Of The Engine. Also, Sounds Stupid, But Have You Checked The Power Steering Fluid????? Could Be The Pump. On My Last 19 The Res Hose Split & It Lost All Its Fluid That Sounded Horrid.
