You could use thicker oil.

Or you could use a engine flush to clean out the lifters.
Also I read somewhere that you can put some transmission fluid in the engine right before you change the oil and let the car run (not drive it) and then drain the oil...

That was supposed to clean out the lifters.

Seafoam!

Put that a day or two before your next oil change.. put some in your crankcase and put some in your gas tank as well.. that rid of the tapping for me

and then when u put in new oil put some oil stabilizer like lucas in.

Don't waste any more money or time trying to fix the vibration problem. Here's a link you need to read in which I participated in using the same username:
