Hey everyone,

I've been experiencing a weird lifter rattly noise at startup sometimes. It doesn't always happen when the engine or warm or cold, just sometimes.

I've checked my valve lash back in the early summer and it was perfect.

After the first 3-5 seconds upon startup, my fear resides along with the noise.

I have no idea what the noise could be. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Are you sure it is not timing chain tensioner noise?

hm, I don't believe it is the TCT as of yet.

The sound goes away after a few seconds..

 

any other ideas?

 

clutch maybe?

mine makes a little noise until I release the clutch...I even push the pedal again and it doesn't make the noise anymore
