Mine does the same thing. Stops when the engine reaches operating temp. I figured it was from the mileage. I used to have a 1988talk Lincoln town car that did the same thing as well. It had 185,000 miles when i got it. My Expedition has the same mileage.

OK, I'll throw in my 2 cents. 2003 Exp 5.4 starting "tapping" on my way to work one morning. Stopped by my mechanic and he said leave it here for the day. He added Seafoam to the oil and let it idle awhile to circulate good. He says, drive it home tonight (35 miles) then bring it back tomorrow and we will change the oil . The ticking stopped before I got back the next day and that was 20,000 miles ago. I have 237,000+ miles on it now. I usually add a bit of Seafoam a day or two before an oil hange. Helps keep the lifters free of carbon he said. I was tickled it was that minor. Mine also seemed to come from the passenger side top end.
