Slight knock/tick at startup

ok, finally got around to addressing this. I loaned out my oil pressure gauge and when I finally got it back I didn't have the correct adapter. So....I just went ahead and bought another new oil filter. Problem is now corrected. I guess I just got one with a bad valve. thanks for all the replies.

I'll still check my oil pressure. haven't done that since the engine was built.

You should install a oil pressure gauge for full-time use.

You need one. We all do.
