Bob,

Mine doesn't do anything like that.  I wonder if it could be a sticking
valve which is hanging up a bit, then banging down on the cam lobe or the
seat on the return stroke.  Such a thing might stop when the engine warms
up and the tolerances loosen.  Sounds like something that could cause
damage if left.  Has he or the mechanic tried a stethoscope to track the
noise.

Hi Bob, et al,

Bob, I'm only going to guess once: cracked exhaust manifold. You'll get a 
"ticka ticka ticka" noise that sounds like lifter noise. Just about every
