I would go with OEM Toyota valve cover gaskets. No need to replace the valve cover itself unless cracked, just the gasket once you remove the valve cover to adjust the lifters/shims.
As the engine warms up and reaches normal operating temperature the oil becomes a bit thinner than when you first start the engine and the oil is cold. Not unusual for the valve train and specifically the lifters to get a bit noisier once the oil is hot.
