If it's just a tick, it's the lifters and they're fine. I think I read that when you turn it over by hand (checking the clearance on the tensioner), it collapses the lifters. Driving/idling for a few minutes will take care of it.
Run it for a few minutes and maybe take it for a short drive around the block. Run it for about 10 minutes total. If it doesn't go away by then, repost and we'll deal with it.
