Default Weird Clanking noise


At idle and only in the warm start (not everytime but sometime), a clanking noise is coming from the engine for about 30-40 seconds (at idle) and then dissappear.

Any idea?

That is classic timing chain tensioner except I've never heard the noise described as a 'clank' but usually as a 'rattle' or 'playing card in the spokes' sound.
Look up "timing chain tensioner" in the UTH forum, lots of threads.
