TIming Chain Clatter When Cold??
I'v noticed that when I go to start my car and it hasn't been run in awhile, it will make a quick clatter then go away. My theory is that the oil on the timing chain isn't circulated yet so the chain is clattering before the oil gets up there.
That sound about right to anyone? Or does anyone else experience that same clatter at start up?? Is it something that can be fixed? Or just there?

I know right, I told him when he was down here :P
Yep, Cardboard endcaps and hard plastic valve which leaks....
K&N, M1, Wix, Purolaotr, and Bosch are all good.
K&N and M1 are made by the exact same company, and I believe they are almost identical inside.

The rubber anti-drainback valve seals the rough metal backplate to the cardboard end cap. In practice these seem to leak, causing dirty oil to drain back into the pan. If you use this filter and have a noisy valve train at startup, the filter is likely the cause. The bypass valves are plastic and are sometimes not molded correctly, which allows them to leak when they should be closed.
