Tapping Valves

Howdy All..

I am hearing a tapping noise from my 108 4.5. The frequency of the tapping is consistent with the rpm's, and is particularly noticable at highway speeds. Its not very loud, but it is not a pleasant sound.

Of course, I am planning to get this fixed. But, how concerned should I be and how long is it permissable to run the car in this condition? And, what exactly needs to be repaired?

Recent repairs: new vac lines, new points, new cap & rotor.
