If you wish, you can post a video of the noise and we can weigh in on likely causes.

Thanks for the interest. I am very grateful. Here are the videos, the shortest and most static, it is the one that was taken cold. The second is after a while, already hotter. Greetings

@Faustof I hear some pretty good rattle at initial startup that seems to smooth out to a mild rattle at hot idle.

This could be a result of using lower quality parts, possible the lifters are not holding fluid at idle and there is slack between the push rod and lifter causing a lifter rattle.

If this continues after using the correct oil I would not run the motor like this, sound seems to be coming from passenger side.

The transmission bench
Agree with @Dustin Jackson, change the oil with good quality oil but if that doesn't help, it's time for a valve adjustment (at least that's what id do first once the valve cover's off..

If a valve adjustment doesn't fix it and a lifter has failed, pop both heads off and replace all lifters, trays (oem only for these parts) and check the heads for warpage. If warped, have them surfaced and gone through. Then reinstall everything - make sure you buy new head bolts (i prefer ARP) then install new knock sensors and intake gaskets, etc.

How many miles on the engine?
