I run mine a little loose, so they tick on startup. If it goes away when warm I wouldn't worry about it. With 200k you will have other problems soon enough.

I am running some 0w 40 in thier for now to swish it around and wash it out. I was thinking that also and probably will change out to 10w 40 when I put new beaings in her.

As of now, she runs like a bancshee up to 5k quiet as can be when warm.
