Tapping when engine started. Stops after few seconds. Happened two months ago one time. Never again until today.

Good morning.
If it is a valve train noise, it could be a tuck lifter. Using a product called sea foam to try and break down the varnish in the lifters.
the other possibility is the lower end that has the bearings. If there is excessive clearance or the oil pump is weak it will also cause the issue.
