Try to locate the noise. If its coming from the valve cover its probably valve lash. Removing the cover will allow for checking the lash and determining if you have non-adjustable or adjustable lifters. [ manifolds don't have to be removed for this.]

Is the noise normal ? Yep, that is, a certain amount is normal.
