But last weekend I drove around 200 miles and after that trip, the ticking noise is gone. I cannot hear from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

I'm pretty sure that is either hydraulic value lifter (HVA) or cylinder head issue, but the thing is I cannot produce now.

Not sure how to reproduce again, if the sound does not produce again, I cannot ask dealer to replace the part for me.

Any suggestion??
Take a video or sound clip next time it happens and take that to the dealer.
