Hydraulic lifter noise with cold starts

Hey all, was just wondering if it's normal or it means something is wearing out and needs replacing, every so often when I start the 91 300E I have the hydraulic lifters make noise for a about 3-4 seconds and then shuts off, VERY rarely does it stay on for longer than that, usually happens more if it's been sitting on an incline all night, it is with cold starts only.

Anything to give a second though to?
