DRC,

This is considered normal. The noise is usually noticed on initial start-up when the temperature is below 50 degree Fahrenheit. It may be more pronounced on the first cold start after a long trip. The noise typically disappears within the first 5 - 30 seconds, but may last longer in extreme cold temperatures.

The noise is not detrimental to the performance, reliability or durability of the engine. The noise does not have any affect on the longevity of any of the engine components.
