Guess I don't know exactly what that would sound like. Noisy lifters, yes. Sticking, don't know.

How do you know you are hearing sticky lifters? Did you know the BBV is supposed to open for a few seconds after the car starts, resulting in a sound like marbles in a pail for the first minute or so...

I highly doubt the lifters are sticky. If they were you'd have a helluva problem with pushrods falling out etc...

How about recording a video with some audio of a cold startup?

Rattling SC snout coupler? Mine was noisy at startup and shutdown.

I also doubt that whatever you are hearing is lifters sticking.
