Though your engine sounds with tapping, it may be that time is lacking.

Running time may be required, so drive your bus til sound expired.

So give it time, much minutes more til tapping lifters pump their bores.

Could be lazy, could be dirty, former true? run more than 30.

Minutes that is.

Or run thicker oil.
