It's leaky and as a result it bangs into the valve until it builds pressure and goes back to normal. Do you have any update on your scenario by chance?
When I first had the dry engine noise, I could feel something trying to stop the engine by force, a big clank. That's why i don't think it could be a failed lifter, but will keep an eye on it.

I am going to change the oil in a few weeks and will post here whatever happens.
