sounds like the lifters.there very small and are on the end of the rockers.i think they cost about $20 and you should change the lot if thats whats wrong,its a common problem when they do a few kms

1st question. What oils in it? Make sure you have the correct oil in it. Pretty sure your ED should have 15/40W. If it's got 20/50W it'll tap as you describe.

If oils too thick it'll cause all sorts of wear and tear as it won't drain back fast enough.
