welcome to the club.
I had a GR a while back and it to had noisy tappets on start up. Unfortunately if you want to get the noise to go away they more than likely need to be replaced and it costs a small fortune as Its a fairly big job replacing them. Unlike the Gpx model which you can adjust them.

A thicker oil will help a little but not a magical cure.
