Rods and Rocker arms were the problem with my Malibu after changing lifters
Why are your lifters knocking in your 1996 Chevy Cheyenne Vortex 350 5.7L 3500 ton truck?
The most common cause of lifters knocking is low oil pressure.

Cheap gas
What cause a tapping noise in a Pontiac bonnieville?
It is normally caused by sticking hydraulic lifters or lifters that need adjustment. Try pouring one can of Seafoam in the crankcase. If it helps then change the oil at your normal interval and then add another can. You can buy it at any auto parts store and Walmart.

1995 Ford Contour the valves tap you have changed the cam and lifters twice still tapping?
were the valve tappets adjusted correctly they need to be rotated during adjustments ,also make sure you have correct viscosity oil in engine. it has hydraulic lifters and if oil is cheap, it will aerate and cause rattling

Ticking in an engine generally refers to the valves. If ticking is apparent on a 1994 Chevy Lumina tighten the valves to factory specifications.
Will a blown head gasket affect hydraulic lifters?
it will cause the engine to overheat and also coolant to enter the oil system, which will in turn cause wear of the lifters.
92 Chevy pick up starts and runs good but then the lifters start knocking and you lose power what could cause this?
low oil pressure could be one cause cold oil is heavier in viscoity and as it warms it gets thinner, the lifters are not getting the oil inside of them causing them to colaspe try having a new oil pump installed
What could cause the lifters on a 1987 Chevy Camaro to go out when the engine gets warm?
This is odd........usually lifters clatter or rattle when cold due to losing their oil pressure when the engine is turned off and they bleed down. They don't stop tapping until they build pressure back up. I would guess your oil pressure is higher at start up.......and your lifters are either holding some pressure but as the engine heats up, the oil thins out and the lifters do not hold their necessary pressure and start to make noise. Do you have an oil pressure gauge? You could try running a heavier viscosity oil and see if it quiets them down. Otherwise you may need to pull the intake manifold off and start looking at them. Wish I could help more.
What does the speaker think might be the cause of the tapping?
The speaker suggests that the tapping sound might be caused by someone tapping on the window to try and scare them or get their attention.
