Rocker roller noise or lash adjuster (lifters)?

Mine makes the same noise from time to time; depends on outside temp but it sounds just like yours. When I probed the VC bolts I found out it was coming from a lash adjuster that seems to be getting weak. Threw some sea foam in the oil and it helped it not do it as often but they still have to come out.
It’s a rather embarrassing noise but hasn’t affected performance on my car at all.

Sweet I hope this is the case. I bought a stethoscope off Amazon and next time I hear it I'm gonna probe the VC bolts and see if I can get near the timing cover as well.

Mine comes from around the second bolt from the front. Mine started after switching to RP oil; not saying it was the oil but car never did it till I switched to that oil. Switched to mobil 1 and don’t have that problem unless it’s over 100+ outside. Still going to do all new lash adjusters when I finally start getting the car back on the road but never noticed any effects on driving.
