This is quite a big job and these engines are know to be a bit tappey. First of all, are you using the correct grade of oil? Then, has it been changed frequently? You can use a flushing oil to try and free them up. If they only tap for a short while on start up, I would not worry too much. If the car isn't used very often you need to change the oil and filter every year at least.
