May I ask? Will replacing he cams and lifters be a simple job? Like open the head and swap he parts. Close it back and done. Or will her be adjustments required? Would it also be better to change out he head gasket at the same time and will running in be required?
I also read somewhere that hydraulic lifters can be removed and cleaned. Reason being they are gummed up with gunk thus not moving like they were supposed to.

I’m quite sure my car has hydraulic lifters. I checked the users’ manual and it did mention something about valve adjustment. I’m using syntactic oil. Maybe the viscosity is incorrect. Manual did mention to use 5w30 and i’m using 5w40. That might have cause the sound to surface as well.
Just a question, will exhaust leak cause the sound when cold and sound goes away when engine is hot? I’m pretty sure the sound is coming from the engine block. Although i did hear a little squeaking sound coming from my cat convertor when i put it to drive. I’m hoping that isn’t breaking down as well.
