Trim it's toenails(Talon. get it?). Or it could be the valve lifters. As for red hot part, I'd say you need some serious attention. You didn't mention if it's a turbo. Turbochargers can get really hot, but I don't think they should get so hot that they would glow.

Volvo XC90 driven under 5,000 miles/year oil question?

Firstly if your engine is getting red hot you really need to take it to a mechanic ASAP before you cook it and it seizes for good and you will be up for a new engine. As for the tapping sound I dont know the car (its not a model brought out in Australia) however you might want to find out if it has tappets and if so they may need replacing - they timing belt or chain (which ever it has) may be loose or a number of other things.

My SEAT Toledo 1.8 20V (1999) intermittently loses power?

Go to a mechanic, it sounds like your lifters are tapping because they are starved for oil, and if you are seeing red you have serious problems, I predict serious mechanical failure in the near future. Of course it may not be a lifter, it could be a rod bearing in which case I predict serious mechanical failure in the VERY near future. Sorry for the bad news.
