Default Reinstalled rockers and had ticking noise

I removed my rockers and push rods to check for a bent rod. After reinstalling and starting all was well for a few moments then a noticable ticking started. I gently revved the motor and the ticking remained. Gave it a little more and the ticking stoped.

Drove the car around for a bit and is quiet as can be. Any ideas on why it would do it for a minute and then stop?

The rockers were probably readjusting themselves.

Normal, no worries, lifters bled down a bit on the reinstall-torque seq.
