make sure you have enough oil in it!

Pick up pipe is at the front . Maybe something drains down more

It could be that your oil pump is worn. When the engine is switched off, oil could be draining back down from the filter housing, through the worn pump and back into the sump. When you start the engine, the pump needs to work for a few seconds to bring the oil pressure back up. That's probably why you are hearing the hydraulic lifters upon start up. Kev
