i'd say its just the lifters. You can take them out and clean them if you want. But it isnt a bad thing at all.

Hi wattles. Not sure if it's the same noise you're referring to but I think my exhaust heat shields start ticking when they start to warm up (due to heat expansion). Usually after the engine has run for a minute or so. Only lasts for about 10 or 20 seconds.

Yeah, the weight of the oil COULD cause ticking on start up.

Get some Maginitec into 'er!

lol.

Check your oil level too...
