Loose valves will present a ticking noise. Light, quick tick tick tick. Knocking noises are usually associate with your reciprocating assembly ( crank, rods, pistons ). Pull the valve cover and rotate the engine until #1 cylinder is near TDC on it's compression stroke ( check your FSM or Haynes/Chilton manual. they all describe how to adjust valves ). Check you valve lash. Chances are they are loose. Adjust all your valves per the manuals.

If it is the valves do yourself a favor and adjust them by hand. In the past I have adjusted mine with the recommended adjustment but always had a tick. I have since adjusted both of my trucks by hand and have little to no tick at all. Going on 20k miles on my 4x4 with no problems.

Factory spec is to replace the chain at approximate 80K mile intervals. Beyond that, the chain will experience accelerated wear which will retard both cam and ignition timing. Eventually, the cam tensioner will run out of room to take up the slack and the chain will begin slapping against the long guide (exhaust side of the engine) and break that guide. Once the guide is broke, the chain will continue to wear (stretch) and wear through the timing cover.

I found that if I went down on the gap a tiny bit it quieted mine down but i'm talking like .001 .
Also discovered that a knock I thought was coming from my motor turned out to be my tranny so there could be other culprits. Check everything!

There's a reason mechanical engineers get paid a ton of money designing engines. There's a reason why engines fail when somebody thinks they no more than the manufacturer.

Last time I had these types of symptoms, start up knock, knock at mid to high rpm and while clutch in shifting, it was a bad rod bearing. It went on like that for about a year or so before spinning the bearing completely.
I originally thought timing chain as well. Changed that when I first bought the truck. Didn't help. My guide rails were still good. Typically a stretched timing chain won't make noise till it takes out that guide rail and starts hitting the cover.
