That oil is probably way too thick. Go for 5w30 or 10w30. If the noise goes away after a while you've probably got worn hydraulic lifers. Thinner oil should pump up faster in colder temperatures. If the noise doesn't go away, it could be the piston slap that's oh so common on the red block motors. If the noise doesn't change with engine speed, it's probably the fuel injectors.
