The only noise on start up I am aware of is the timing chain rattle as pressure is developed in the tensioner piston should this be worn. This however should disappear quickly. If the chain and tensioner has been changed then this would not be the cause. Only other noise could be valve clearances - have these been checked recently.? should be 0.2mm hot 0.3mm cold
