It could take a few hundred miles to fully settle, mine did, despite the oilways etc being clean, as flushed out oilways etc.
My car still sounds cammy, but is actually(on mine) piston slap, as it's a bit tired 120,000 + miles now!!

My noise gets a lot less when warmed up but sounds like a tractor till then.
As said use of 4wd(tractor!!) pistons cures it mostly, but due to the inherant design there will always be a little bit when cold, but a lot more so on 2wd, the gudgeon was moved on 4wd to counter this.
Piston slap causes no harmful effects, and is just a characteristic rather than a fault.
Personally unless it is drinking oil(like mine!!) I would not do anything.
