Yikes. At 235,000 miles it could be likely that your oil pressure isn't up to the job of keeping the lifters pumped up enough to keep them quiet.
Your main bearings may have excessive clearance, such that when the engine warms up, the pressure drops to the rest of the motor.
Valve clatter would be a likely symptom.
If you can get an oil pressure gauge on the motor it might help diagnose a potential loss of pressure issue.
