metallic tapping that becomes faster as the engine speed increases indicates valve tapping. one or more of your valves clearances are misadjusted. to help you find out which one it is cut a small section of hose, put one end to your ear and place the other end on different spots along the rocker arm cover, where the sound is loudest is where the problem valve is. purchase a repair manual for your car for valve clearances and specific valve adjustment procedures.

With all the moving parts being comprised of so many different materials, it is impossible to answer this without some clues and better description

What is a self tapping screw?
A self-tapping screw can be used to join two pieces of plastic or metal with simple holes drilled into them. A "normal" screw requires one of the holes to be "tapped" - a spiral has to be cut into one of the holes to accept the screw. Tapping holes is something of a game of skill; the tapping tools use very hard, brittle steel and it's easy to break a tool in the hole.
Why is warm water used to remove a tightly sealed metal cap from a glass bottle?
The warm water will cause the metal lid to expand if poured mainly on the lid. This expansion will often loosen the grip of the lid and it can be unscrewed. Sometimes, gently tapping the side of the lid on the floor several times, has the same affect of loosening the lid.
