99 Limited GT, 109k, everything seems perfect, except, cold starts. Not necessarily cold, but like, if the car sits over night etc etc, or cold, either or.
Basically, i'm getting a slight knock, it's more like a knock than tap, I swear it sounds just like my old 5.0 that had a bad lifter or something, but in that car the problem went away on it's own after like 10k miles. Anyways, what's annoying is, well, it doesnt do it every morning, but defonantly most of the time, lasts about 4-5 minutes, then gone, completly. After that it sounds like a brand new engine, no noise whatsoever, it's also been VERY well maintained, and i'd say 50% of the miles are highway. Is this something I should really care about, or let it go? It is defonantly coming from the valvetrain, the bottom end is soooollid, full compression across the board, never a bit of smoke, and, well it's obvious when hearing it that it's coming from the top end. Any tips, advice, thanks guys
