SR20DET ticking noise?

[Edyz7s]

Hello s-chassis heads,
So recently i started noticing a tickling noise coming from the top part of the motor on the driver's side. You would hear it when it idles. Can't really figuring what's causing that noise, but maybe you guys would know? And also would that be a bad sign aswell? I got a clip of where you could here it:

Wasn't able to watch the video because I'm in class. But I just want to go ahead and say it's valve train noise.
Check your oil lvl?
How old is your oil?
Have you recently switched oils?
What kind of oil do you use and what are the outside temps in your area?

Bleed your lifters

Bleed your lifters or ignore it. The only difference will be the sound lol.

Alrights! Thought it'll be bad if I don't bleed em now. Rather bleed em when I have to do work on the head then :)

Bleed them as soon as you can. you don't want to end up with one getting stuck, because then you have to replace it, and you're probably already damaging your rockers.
