Upon start, engine fires and as/when it settles down to idle you hear a tack, clank or sort of sound. You can only here is at idle and you can only hear it with the windows down. Then very tiny little ticking when cold if you let it sit there it gets quieter, and sometime after a minute it dies out all together. meanwhile As long as the engine is a bit warm this noise doesn't come back. but if you let it sit 8 hours or more it might come back
