Pretty sure all you gotta do is drive but stay off redline. My M52 does the same when oil temps get up there on track. 5-50w and a oil cooler gets rid of it but the tick is harmless.
my engine ticks only when cold, after about 3 minutes when the engine warms up the sound disappears. Do I also need to go through this procedure? and is it necessary to stand still or is it possible while driving at 3k rpm?
Great video I parked my car for a week in the garage while I was doing some work on it. It was also very cold. Started it up and heard this tick
So if my bmw neighbor is revving his engine for 3 minutes straight he’s not just being an A-hole? 😂
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on if you were swearing at your evo working on it in the middle of the night. Haha

So what happens next morning? Tick gone?
Yes

I think you need stay stopped, so you dont have any load on the engine.
