Raidman,
The tappets are oiled in a bath. Because of this, the quanitity of oil pressure for the head matters little in respect to noise, and the difference therein is small whether the pressure is high or low. Thus, the problem is likely not a problem with the cylinder head!
You are folly to remove the head for want of quiet. Adjusting the clearance should correct almost any problem with tapping, save a worn camshaft.
YOU NEED TO CHECK THE OIL PRESSURE!!!
The pump outlet supply tube seals can fail in such a way that the engine receives only a nominal volume. Remove the idea that the oil lamp is a substitute for the piece of mind of an actual instrument. The lamp quenches at 2 psi.
