Is the rattling at the beginning when start up anything to worry about mine does it thats all lol

It might be related to the oil pump, I haven't figured it out yet.

[@Assistingalways]

Not really. Unless it takes a longer time to silence. Its normally the chains before oils get to them. Though most definitely the oil pump is not pushing as fast as it used to long ago.

​​​​@@AssistingalwaysYes. In longer time it may lead to crank shaft failure. In that case you need a new engine. The problem is that changing the oil pump is a very hard job, because mechanics have to disassemble the car and the engine into small pieces. That is nearly as expensive as buying a new engine. My car has this same sound after the ignition. I hope I can still use it for some years with that sound.

@@skubi877That sound is normal for 3-4 seconds. It is only a problem if it takes longer than that.
