Lifter Knock....

dont know of anything better, but it does take awhile for the knock to go away. it may take a few oil changes and a few apllications of MMO.
a more aggressive approach is to use a qt of tranny fluid in the oil and drive a couple hundred miles and than change the oil.
what weight motor oil are you using?

What brand of oil filter are you using? Fram has a notoriously bad anti-drainback valve that allows for dry starts. I switched to Wix (Napa Gold) on my 4.0 and quieted a lot of the noise.
On high mileage engines, you're never going to eliminate the lifter noise entirely.

I noticed a low RPM lifter tap when Jiffy Lube put in 10w30 instead of straight 30 like I wanted. Straight 30 is all I've ever used. I'm in Houston, it's always hot here.
