After researching the forum, other people was having the same problem, they stated it was the lifters..I brought mines into the dealer they looked at the lifters, of course the sound does not occur. So they said mines was perfectly fine.. another few weeks goes by the same sound appears again. I found another post, someone stated that the noise went away after he topped off his oil..I recently did an oil change and made sure I used all 7 quarts. The sound has not come back since. So I guess you can try to top off your oil. assuming that this is the fix.
Today afternoon dealer gave me a call and told me that if were my lifters and they replaced them.Good thing I have CPO.
