318 lifter noise

Got the 318 back up and going in the daily after 4 months, new oil/filter and all that good stuff, the top end was never touched during that whole process. Lifters started tapping as soon as it started, I thought this was normal given all the cranking during testing and the fact that no oil had been to them in such a long time, been driving as usual for 4 days seeing if they'd quite down and so far they may have gotten slighty better but haven't stopped for sure... is this normal or should I pull the covers and check the rockers?
There are a couple of Lucas products out there that could make a difference. It requires a little time and about $60, or so, of auto parts store products. Google " how to quiet lifter noise" and watch a few videos. Seems like a "no brain'r" to me...before even cracking a valve cover screw. I'd do it sooner rather than later, no sense letting a lifter stay collapsed.
