Ok...I start it up this morning on my way to another shop for another opinion.

Once again the engine was not ticking at all (right after firing it up). I then proceed to the shop, ticking started just as I pulled in. They think lifter, as I was thinking all along but they need to pull a valve cover and see. Worst case, they said I'll need the lifters replaced (I asked if they think I need a new engine, they laughed saying definitely no, not for this type of noise)..

The tick was faint, eventually goes away after driving a while (to the point where I only hear the "typical" LT1 tick I've heard since new).

I'm almost ready to leave it alone since it does go away once the engine has been running for a while...or is this something I need to take care of asap?
