It’s difficult over the internet. If it don’t sound right take it to the dealer

If it is the ticking you hear, that is just the fuel injectors, High pressure direct injectors are noisy.

Sounds normal to me. No CEL, no stumbling, no problem.

Haven’t heard many C8 engines running, but I really do not hear any noise out of the ordinary.

Thank you for many opinions.
I'm worried because the lifter was already broken when I bought it from the dealer shop..
I'll try to ease my worries.
Thank you for many opinions.
