As the title states, I've recently developed a cold start tick that originates under the upper right side valve cover.
Its only when the engine is cold and goes away within 2 seconds of starting.
Oil has been 7100 and was recently changed.
The engine is quiet the rest of time, runs great. Just a tad over 21,000 miles.
I suspect a loose valve BUT, it goes away immediately???
Will a slightly loose valve, valve tick go away with oil pressure?
Thanks
