Did you mess with the lifters at all while it was apart? Maybe got one in sideways? Typically lifters make noise when cold, and go away when warm. But I have seen only once in my life, where a roller lifter got stuck sideways and was riding the cam like a good ole non roller lifter and chewed the ever loving crap oitta the cam. It made me noise when warm than cold and I initially thought it was a rod bearing.
Some of the 4.8/5.3s have a little piston skirt slap going on OR wrist pin noise. Not too commoni don't think. But I would set my sights oh lifter noise if you never replaced them.

Speed shop did cam and told me heads needing done. So done whatever they recommended doing. If the lifters where changed I'm not sure. I don't see anything on receipt saying they had caged them but I'm not sure.
