Do you get the nosie when the engine is cold as mine taps and ticks a bit when cold then when warm it's quiet as a mouse (well a scooby burble mouse lol)

But if it still ticks and taps when warm it could be the hydraulic tappets that need to be looked at as they are a common fault on classics...

Check the oil level and ensure your oil pump is working and getting the oil around the engine properly

It could be :
Hydraulic tappets ticking.
Piston Slap.
Spark plugs loose/coil packs not pushed fully on.
Up-pipe or headers blowing.
Low oil pressure causing top end wear due to Oil Pump backing plate screws coming loose.

Process of elimination really.
