No a loose sleeve normally starts to move/tick after it warms up not from cold start. If the engine is already hot then it will start ticking sooner than from a cold start.
RMT says to run water from a hose onto the side of the block to cool it down while it is ticking and if it stops ticking it is a liner. Then if you remove the hose and it warms back up again it will start back ticking. You need to hose it down below the exhaust manifold and above the oil pan on the side of the block. Turn the water down low and try not to wet any of your sensors or electronics if possible. You may have to try each side of the block if you are not sure which side it's coming from. If that stops the tick then buy a grey 180 genuine thermostat (link below) and see if that will cool your engine down enough stop the tick. I've never tried the hose down test but, makes sense and he says it works so I'm sure it does. I have replaced the thermostat with a 180 and did stop the tick but, may not work for everyone. It's worth a shot.
