I was told that you can run 1 qt of ATF for a few hundred miles prior to the oil change and that might help. Personally, I would be afraid to do it. If it's tapping, oil change will probably not change anything. You need to have your lifter(s) shimmed. I am going to do this job within a couple of months.
