Where is the noise coming from, top or bottom of engine? If it is top, that would be due to presence of air in the valve lifters and some running of the engine should reduce or eliminate the noise as the lifters self bleed.
If it is from bottom of engine, that would be bad news, most likely the connecting rod bearings are worn due to lack of lubrication.
