Dan,
It might be a good idea to check your oil pressure but a few common culprits for noisy tappets could be the early pre 1989 plastic oil delivery pipes (connected to the top of camshaft bearing caps) are broken or not seating properly.
A worst case could be that the oil pump pickup tube is not seated or has a bad pickup tube o-ring allowing for oil to mix with air creating your symptoms.
Hope there's a simple solution and please keep us posted!
Regards,
GaryK at SWEDISH DYNAMICS,INC.
