Did your indy recommend anything like a full diagnosis?
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.

This weekend my wife and I went to the NJ shore and took the 911. The next day I started up the car and heard what I believe to be vale tapping for 15-20 secs and then it went away. I did not hear it at any other of the 4-5 times I stopped and started the car again. It is also not a something I remember hearing before so should I be worried?
not unusual to have a very brief tapping noise until lifters pump up on a cold engine.
Started when engine is already warm you shouldn't hear it though.

Could be after a long hard run the oil was thin and leaked out of one of the lifters overnight. With the engine start and oil flowing, It took a few seconds to pump back up. I wouldn't worry about it unless it does it over and over again consistently.
This happens to me whenever the car sits for a day or 2.......It goes away after about 15-20 seconds.......It does not happen when car is started at least twice a day or daily..........
Sorry to resurrect. But my car seems to be having the same issue. After few days of sitting I seen to get lifter noise accompanied by CEL. Has happened a few times each time my Indy resets it and sends me on my way but never done this before. I change oilr religiously 5k or less and just had done 1k miles ago.
I run 5/40 Mobil one and no noise. Just a bit at start up and then goes away only happenes infrequently. Don't have CEL codes but he says the codes are misfires.
