Ticking sound -- NOT A SLIPPED SLEEVE

I haven't seen anybody really discussing them on this forum so maybe it doesn't happen with these lifters (although you do mention "sticky lifters" so maybe that's what you're meaning...)
But anyway, the hydraulic tappets on my bike will often tick after a rebuild if air gets into them. Over time the air gets displaced by oil so the noise eventually goes away, but I know that people have reported that it comes and goes for a long time before it eventually resolves.

That answer appeals to me!! Hahahahah

If the noise is in the valve train, it should have stopped on that cylinder when you pulled the HT wire. Now, if the whole rocker arm assembly were not torqued down, maybe. What about the exhaust manifold and gaskets? did you check the torque on those bolts again? it's pretty loud...maybe exhaust leak

I've got an extra set of manifold gaskets. I did torque the manifold bolts and I'd cleaned the bolts but just thinking back I put BLUE, watery, Loctite on them because I was out of everything else. I just don't understand how it can be loud then silent then loud again. If I didn't have those videos (thanks to you Chubbs!) And a witness (wife) I'd really think I had imagined the quiet running. I'm positive I can fix it (because I have so many parts and don't mind tearing it apart) but I want to understand it, too, and loud, quiet, loud (at all Temps, normal driving) just doesn't fit my knowledge base. My only fear is taking it all apart not knowing what it is and then putting it back together, only to have the tick again.

and compression is the same across every cylinder? The noise is so loud that its from the exhaust or just beneath the valve covers because you can hear it from a mile away.
I have this weird sound that comes and goes with my exhaust but it only does that when it rains. You tell me about that. I seriously thought that I was delusional over that deal.
on your LR anything can come and go. I will look around a little bit more.

Rain? Haha. Mine likes the rain. Maybe that's the issue.
Yes, it is very loud. It was silent. Then at least as loud as in the video, then silent again. Now it's loud. Embarrassingly loud.
