What could cause a very loud valve train noise like tapping on a 94 jeep Cherokee inline 6 with apx 150k well maintained miles?

At 150 k miles first check oil pressure at engine hot with a known accurate gauge. Make sure that the pressure exceeds the minimum mfg specification for the engine. If the oil pressure is ok, then use a mechanics stethescope to locate the exact area of the noise. High on the engine indicates valve or piston related, middle on the block indicates piston and low on the block is lower end, ie bearings rods or mains. Make sure you correctly locate the noise before tearing into the engine, nothings worse than making an erroneous diagnosis when it comes to time and dollars... If the noise is indeed in the top of the engine then pull the valve cover and check for wear in the valve train. Repair or replace pivot points, lifters, etc. as may be required.
