Default Slight lifter tap

Tonight I cranked my car in 22* weather and noticed I had slight lifter tap on my passenger side. I'm about to stab an F14 in my car and I'm worried about that lifter. Like I said, it's fairly quiet but I'm bummed that I started hearing it. Any advice?

Thanks for the great input

I think that weather had something to do with it Josh, it didn't sound that bad to me we could barely hear it. My old 5.3 tapped way worse than your car from 100k miles to 185k when I traded it in, no problems... Bad thing is Im hearing of alot of people with NEW lifters failing, go figure.
