Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Over the last 3 weeks I have only started my car to pull it out of the garage due to a kitchen Reno, so that it wouldn’t get covered in saw dust. Probably 12 times. The last time I started it I noticed a slight ticking noise, that I assumed was a sticking lifter, today I took it for a good drive bringing the engine up to temp. The ticking noise went away, Could the lifters drain, or are they filled as soon as the engine is started? 99 with 91000 km
How long did the noise last? One or two seconds at startup can be considered normal. The early 5 chain cars can be noisier, though it’s typically chain tensioners that are the source of the noise rather than lifters. Not saying that lifters can’t be noisy; they can bind and make racket too. My car does the startup rattle if it sits for more than a day. It sounds bad but apparently is normal for the car.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
