[W126 Coupe] Valve lifter ticking

[Nils-Helge Boge]

Thanks a lot for your kind answer.
Togheter with mechanic I check the "plastic oil guides" when turning enginee 
with starters. After  few seconds oil come out and lubricate the cam.
I also speak with the mechanic one more time and he was sure it was air in 
the valve lifter which cause the problem with tcking soun when enginee was 
cold. I will be in touch with "Englevakten"
Is it possible that a camshaft ,with no new oil on cam during winter 
storage, could get worn when engine is started due to dry surface of cam?

Regard
Nils-Helge
