If you have hydraulic valve lash adjustors or something similar, its probably just that.

Is it knocking or is it your valvetrain not having any oil for a sec because it's been sitting for a while?

sounds like you may be needing a rebuild soon?

what you are describing sounds like the bearings. mine does this on occasion and i still spray the hell out of it!
just keep an eye on the oil and keep it changed and you should be fine. now that i think about it, it almost sounds like piston slap when it first starts when its cold

but anyway you should be just fine.
