My SR makes very similiar tick as this (although not as bad) when it's warm, but runs very smoothly when cold.

Previous owner had changed the lifters and the VTC sprocket but the sound still comes once the engine is warmed up.
However sometimes when I drive on highways or accelerate a lot it sounds smooth again on idle. Do the lifters get more oil on higher revs and thus not being as loud? Or what could it be?
