Ticking valvetrain noise from fresh engine

I am interested to know the Brand and Weight of oil you use.

5W-X is too light...even for a fresh engine.

Use a 10w-x or even straight 30w and report back.

Cheers.

I used mineral 15W40 with Hughes´ high pressure lubricant. Switched to mineral 20W50 with Hughes hp lube today. Seemed to me that it took longer until the ticking apeared, and it was a different tone (brighter) but after a couple of minutes it was just the same as before. Cheers (switched myself to beer tonight to reach different levels of thinking about this problem) :-)
