Ticking Noise From New 991.2?

Per LexVan, normal and discussed plenty here.
that being said, I had start up ticking with Mobil 0W40 and 5W50. I know use Liqui Moly 5W40 a A40 and a Porsche approved oil. 6k miles on the car.
I can say, no more ticking at start up.
I purchased this kit kit and brought to dealer and they used it on my T except the plug.

Same thing happens to me (2018 T). Used to get ticks when starting cold (car has also sit for a few days). Goes away by itself after it's been lubricated, Now with Liqui Moly 5w/40, the car feels much smoother. Only using LM 5w/40 from now on...

My 2017 Carrera makes the same noise, particularly after sitting for a few days or a week. Goes away on warm up. I think what we are all concerned with is the fact that the noise is indicative of higher wear during warm up that may eventually result in some type of failure at an earlier then expected age. Has anyone heard Porsche's position on this? I would think enough of us have mentioned this to the dealer, so that Porsche is aware of this issue.

Same for me, 2019 C2S. Ticks until warm. I always thought it was the lifters.

I recorded this the other day - assume this is what everyone is talking about? Vertical video warning...

Suggest that you retorque your exhaust header bolts. They are known to loosen if not torqued in proper sequence. You may be hearing a slight leak in the exhaust gasket until it warms up and expands sealing the gap.

I came across this article while researching the ticking sound: https://nnjr-pca.com/9a1-engine/
Here is the author's conclusion: "Keep the RPMs under 3k until the engine warms up, which does not take long. Note: slow drives at low RPM are an unhealthy diet for this engine. Burn good fuel and drive hard. That is what this engine needs and loves."
