Default Tapping Noise?

Did a search

Okay so I rebuilt my motor and it makes a tapping noise, sounds like valves tapping, only like 2k-4k rpms anything other than that and I can't heard it. I just got my valves adjusted and it still does it. Though I notice quite a difference from the valve adjustment the noise is still there. From searching it seems I might be using the wrong oil? I have no clue what is going on please help!

What motor u have? I remember on my b18b1 it did this all the time and it was fine, my brother's b16 does this alot too, even after his valves were adjusted, I hear for b series motors that this is normal, but I might be wrong. Just my 2 cents. Hope this somehow helps.
