I'd describe top end rattle as more of a "clicking", are you sure it's not coming from the bottom end? "Tapping" could be piston slap, bottom end rattle or tappets, I guess.
My rebuilt was horribly noisey until the oil had got into the tappets, but cleared up in around 10-15mins. Get an audio file of the noise and someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
