2G Sudden lifter tick???

[Talyn]

Engine is rebuilt, with very low miles, one of the very few things not replaced was the lifters. I just setup dsmlink, and started the car up to idle and verify timing. And this noise started, I THINK its just the lifters ticking by the sound of it, but I'd feel a lot better if someone who's heard it could chime in. Link to video of the noise:

What has me bugged is the sudden onset of the noise, and a nagging question of wondering if it could possibly be related to me making changes with link.

sounds like lifters but noise should go away . if noise doesn't go away after engine warms up then pull the valve cover and see which lifters are not pumped up.

It was, and went away, guess it was just the cold oil.
