My 2802 does something similar. On cold start, one lifter on the pass side will randomly clatter for about a minute or two. Then it shuts up and it's all good. HJ lifters, comp pushrods, crower enduro rockers, BBC studs, polylocks, the correct springs, good geometry. All pushrods spin and spurt plenty of oil. I've set and re-set the valves several times. Now I just let it warm up. eff it. I chalk it up to worn valve guides.
