Ice Cold Engine
Blip the throttle
Clatter as engine reaches idle for ~1 sec. not before
Will not clatter @ idle either.
Can NOT be heard @ any RPM between 1K - 2.5K
Goes away after 1 min of running

Seems to be worse in warm weather. Last summer
This spring. Didn't hear it much over the winter.
Valve clearance good.

Make sense anyone?
