The noise is not the lifters ticking....not a ticking noise at all. Sound more like piston slap but never goes away. If it went away i wouldn't be concerned. But since it never stops I'm not sure if it is concern or not? I've been too busiy to get it to a dealer, but will have to soon before warranty is out.

I finally went to the dealer today. The service manger took a listen to my engine. After about 5 minutes he said it was not piston slap. Thought was more than likely the roller lifters and they make some noise? Any thoughts? doese this sound right? The car is still running great and not using much oil in my case so I think it will be fine.

In my experience lifters tend to get louder as they warm up. Since the oil is thicker on startup and can compinsate for the lazy lifter.
To fix it you need to pull the valv covers,roller rockers, and intake manifold. Remove pushrods and pushrod guides and the lifter come right out. You can try to clean them or just replace. Id replace if I went throught that.
