I can't understand why this should be with noisy tappets, if there is air instead of oil in the tappets they would rattle from cold. 

I do hope it is nothing more serious but worn crank/big end bearings can be quiet on start up and develop a knock when warm.

 

I hope I'm wrong !!

If it were me, I'd be dropping it off at somewhere like Unit4 or Dans and leaving it until it was sorted.

 

Admittedly I know nothing about engines, but you could be going on forever and a day trying to solve it. Give it to the experts...
