Noisy engine when cold starting, sometimes

Any common culprits that would cause a noisy cold engine? Sounds like lifters, goes away after a second or two once oil pressure builds. It doesn't always do it, either. I heard there were some o-rings and a check valve that might go bad. Would a bad tensioner also do this?
