Gahh. I would have to take my car to a shop to have all of this done, which I'm sure will be costly. Is there a pretty high risk of blowing the motor if not addressing this soon enough?

Getting a good, competent, confirmation of the issue as soon as possible is paramount. The earlier the problem is addressed, the less damage.
Good luck.

Mine has always made the same noise, I don't think its a big deal. I think one of the lifters bleeds down and takes a few minutes to pump back up. 52K miles on it.

How long has your car made this noise? I'm at 67k miles, just recently noticed it so I'm not certain when it started. I can drive awhile then park for a few hours, crank back up and still no noise. It's only on a completely cold start... same for you?

I have only owned the car for about 2000 miles. It has always made that noise in that time. Only makes it on a cold start. Goes away by the time I get around the block. I did some reading on the forums and it seems pretty common.

I get the distinct impression you started this thread seeking confirmation or affirmation from someone (ANYONE) that your situation is not serious and can be ignored, and when someone comes along and says it's "not a big deal", or "mine does the same thing", you're inclined to accept that as it saves you money.
But hey, as long as someone ELSE'S motor sounds like yours and HE thinks it's "not a big deal" then hey, you can rest easy, right?
Just the fact ALONE that you're getting "excessive" metal shavings in your oil (posted by YOU) is cause for serious concern and it appears as though someone else can completely IGNORE that fact and reassure you all is well and you're willing to accept his "diagnosis".
Good luck -

After experiencing that very issue, I agree. Don't run it anymore until you tear it down. What happens is the lifter destructs, eats the cam and all of those particles drop upon the piston skirt and then eats up the cylinder.
I had 4 lifters fail and lost ALL oil pressure. Shut it down immediately, tore it down and the cylinders were scored.
The good thing to come out of it I built an all forged LS6 to replace the tired LS1.
Then again, it's your car and roll the dice as you see fit. Good luck.

Check out my current thread here.

I posted vids of a similar noise. Mine turned out to be 2 spun bearings - cylinder 3 and 4.
There are lots of quick checks i picked up on during my diagnosis. PM me if you want a run down of what i did.
Good luck

Cold start up. The ticking sound is coming from the pass side as you will see in the video. The sound does not increase with throttle. It seems to go away mostly once the car is warmed up. What are your thoughts?
