Sometimes tapping is caused by the valves. They often need to be adjusted every 30k. I don't know what they need to be adjusted to for your car, but they are fairly easy to adjust. It just involves taking off the valve cover, and using a wrench, screwdriver and a one of those spark plug gapping gauges (brain is having one of those days where you cant remember jack)
