Where is the noise coming from? If a head has been sitting dry for a long time, the lifters can dry up and need to bleed oil through them. They sound bloody awful when dry, very similar to valve tap.
Take it out for a drive, get the oil right up to temp and then let it cool down and start it again in the morning. Should have quietened down
They can suffer from oil pressure problems but very very rarely. I think that would be too coincidental unless something physically broke off and has somehow made its way down to the sump and blocked the pump strainer.
