Default engine knocking

i don't know if it's the head or the block. when i start the car it makes a knocking like taping noise for like a second and at idle it sounds normal. but when i drive between like 2500 - 3200 rpm it makes the same noise and is quite after that till like 5000 rpm. but i didn't bring pass 5000rpm cause i don't want the motor to blow. i'm thinking if it's the rockers or i spun a bearing. what do you think?

I bet not, I think he had someone listen to it and they told him... Nevertheless, most bearing problems that I have heard, come distinctly from the bottom of the motor, are too deep of a noise to be described as a tap, and usually do not go away with rpm (unless there is an oil issue)
