Seems like you lost oil pressure. Is the oil level good on the dipstick? If you lost a lot of oil, that would explain the oil light coming on. Now to figure out where the oil has gone. Look around the timing chain tensioner, valve cover gasket, and other areas that were disturbed during the head gasket replacement. The timing chain tensioner has a sealing ring and if that is forgotten, then high pressure oil will weep through. I had one that lost about 1/2 quart of oil in 4 miles. There's a good chance that the tapping will go away once the oil pressure is restored.
