SOURCE: hydrolic lifters making a taping noise
First thing to do is change oil and filter. Hopefully it has not done this long and has hard faced the shims. Good luck and have a good day.
SOURCE: upper engine knock
I had the same problem with my 1999 Cobra Convertible, it sounded like valve problem, but ended up being, a wrist pin noise! Replaced the enging and trans, found a new Engine thru Trans, with everything on it for $4300, sold the old one (with the noise) on e-bay, for $4300 plus shipping.
The drivetrain now has about 10k miles on it, no problems! Have someone check for wrist pin noise!
This is a Roush Cobra Convertible, I will sell for $12,500, with a new top! Pictures avalible!

SOURCE: bad valve cover gasket, misfire and tapping lifter.
what do you mean with 'bad valve cover' ?I asume it is leaking oil.it means that the rubber seal is not sealing anymore,it has gone hard.tighten the cover bolts sometimes seals it for a while.to get to the rubber seals the inlet manifold has to be unbolted and moved,a fairly involved procedure but easy to do if you have a manual and standard handtools.The misfiring is likely stray arching of the coils .remove the top plastic cover of the motor andlook when it is very dark [like lightsof in your garage] and look for sparking.If so ,replace sparkplugs or/and leads.[remove inlet manifold also]Tapping lifter,works with oil,try engine oil flush and/or change oil brande.if problem persist replace lifter,lifter undervalve cover

If your 300 is equipped with a 3.5L engine, high miles, sretched oil changes, the only fix is replacing the rocker shaft assemblys,
they come complete with updated lash adjusters, remove the intake,coils, covers, and rockers, should take you about a couple of hours. there is no cheap fix, sorry. GOOD LUCK. RDJRP
