There’s nothing to fix . It’s an internal engine knock .

Drive it till it needs a new engine . You aren’t going to spend $8000 to open up the engine and rebuilt it , it’s way cheaper to buy a good used engine and have someone swap it in

There are two different (but related? sounds. First is a valve train maladjustment a loose tappet, possibly from worn thrust piece. The second is much deeper and more difficult (and costly) to repair.
It is something with a piston--either hitting combustion deposits or connecting rod bearing.

You just might have an exhaust leak somewhere. Even a minor leak will cause engine ticks and knocks to escape. The bigger leak the more it sounds like a tractor.
