After having a couple home machanics try and fix it with no success ,,by installing new gaskets ,I took it to a garage and the machanic told me he believed the tapping was coming from inside the valve cover..
So I told him to pull them both and check see what he can find ,, he did and found that I do have roller rockers and after he set the lash on them both sides my ticking has gone away ..
I was almost ready to sell the the truck ,, now I think this will be the last truck for me to own.. I was worried as I have always owned a truck .
Ever have a problem like that and almost ready to sell to get rid of it?

Glad it was a simple fix.
