cold start chattering..
Since winter really hit here in ohio, when bringing my engine from a cold start in the mornings or anytime the block temp drops substantially I hear chattering sounds for a while until the engine heats up. What are these sounds ?

Re: (Emerika)
Could be what Emerika said. The less frightening answer is valvetrain. It takes a while for the oil to reach the head than the crankcase, so the valves will tap loudly until they are lubricated/warmed up. I've been told this by several dealerships concerning our other cars.

Re: cold start chattering.. (Puck_tlh)
Ok, whats a valve lash adjustment?
I would have done the valve stem clearance adjustment by now but it's winter now and I have no garage. I am already behind since I need to get my coolant changed and a block warmer installed and I don't have anywhere to do it.
I could go out and bare the cold one day but I'm still beatin around the bush.
