With the build being fresh, here's something to try.
Run a can of seafoam in the crankcase at idle for a bit and on a short drive. Bottom out the lifters after and re-adjust them, then change the oil/filter.
Many of these parts come off the assembly line with water based cleaners and solvents that can cause some sludge in the lifter body. It's what Lunati directed me to do with my set of noisy lifters.
It may or may not do anything for you, but it's something cheap that can be tried without needing to open up the engine.
