Engine Knock! help!

I have an 04 F150 Lariat with the 5.4. I get alot of noise out of the top of the motor. I hear lots of stories of sludge issues, is that the problem or do I need to have the motor gone through? the knock is not horrible but when the motor is warm the noise is pretty aparent!
Thanks
Jay

I just got done fixing a click/knock off of an 05 v8 150, turned out to be an exhaust leak off of the manifold, you can try checking for that too.
