[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1036736, member: 67547"] Ed, apparently your rattle has been happening for YEARS. Is it getting noticeably louder? Have you checked where the noise is coming from, or removed the valve covers to check if the plastic tensioner guides are intact? I'd almost bet you have plastic bits in your oil pan, and if you're not careful they can clog the oil pick up and will grenade the engine if you lose oil pressure. IIRC, your start up rattle was happening well before your 2017 post in the previous forum owned by Todd Z.
