Can you hear it tap when you turn it over by hand? does it happen every rotation, or every second rotation?

Next up; whip the rocker covers off and check every thing is as normal. hopefully this results in a quick and cheap fix!

OH, and also check your exhaust's for cracks, incase that cause's the noise.

Much easier for people on the forum to help you if you can tell us what part of the engine the noise seems to be coming from... If your not sure, get a hose put one end to various parts of engine, i.e left & right rocker covers, front & rear of engine, crankcase.
Check your oil first if you haven't already... Dont rev it. Don't run it for any longer than you have to.

The frist piston on the driver side snapped the top of the piston
