what is your oil pressure? it could be your bearings, dont drive it as it will only damage the engine more and be harder to fix. Drain the oil to see if there is any metal shavings in it.

forged bottom end?
forged pistons will slap when cold

and remember... valve lash needs to be set when the motor is absolutely cold

I had the same problem on my fully built B20 that was sleeved, ended up being the hone was not symmetrical. I hope that isnt your case.
