Default Engine tick video

I have posted about this a couple times and I'm not trying to beat a dead horse but I got a chance to take a good video of this tick I have been dealing with for awhile now. Hopefully someone who's had the same sound and went into the motor to check for damage can shed some light. You can hear it around 1:30 but it's subtle. Around 3:50 it's a bit more noticeable. At 4:45 you can here it very well. It is def coming from the pass side and is much louder from underneath the car. Sound goes away once warm but is always there on a cold start. I have pulled both valve covers and everything is good and tight.

Would a damaged lifter still tick once at operating temp?

Once it warms up the lifter should make less noise
