How long did you let it run for. It's probably the lifters, they take a while to stop ticking.

I had the same thing happened to mime, it ran fine the first 5 minutes and then the noise came up. I changed the lifters after 3km of annoying sound because it didn't go away and now sounds good.

yeah i only left it on for a min and the noise came and it wont stop. i only left it on until it got hot than turned it off

you need to run the engine at 3,000 RPM's for 3-5 minutes to bleed the air out of them

[joebwme30s50]
