Valve train noise on cold start

[TurboBuRick]

Changed the oil filter and gave it new oil (VR 20-50). The pressure is much better from idle up but the lifters are still
making noise on start up after sitting all night. Maybe they whent bad? I had the engine sitting for a couple of years. Like
8 years.

What filter did you use? What's the coldest ambient temps in your region now?

The problem with most off the shelf oil filters is flow restriction. Add high viscosity oil with colder weather and you better have a high performance filter and a good bypass or you get Phoneguys results.

WTF does that stand for??

And why all the talk of oil and filters when he obviously has a valvetrain issue.

hello people; IMO what you use as a engine oil can effect the way the valve train behaves and could effect the sound of the it.. That's what happened to me. My cars sits for too long alot of the time and on first start with M1 I get none of that sound of oil needs to be circulated is there. I know the talk was about a valve train noise but when people started talking about oil filters my remarks jumped in my head. Also I've used fram 3680 for years but I might change to what others are using.

This is the twenty first century and I'm glad it doesn't mean I'll butt blast you.

HOMO YOU DON'T ! Please say you didn't go there.

I'm getting old and don't ever remember that one [I'll be blasting you]

I never saw that show, apparently I have led a very sheltered life.

Thanks for the history lesson.

The problem stems from delay in oil delivery. Bad flowing filter and thick oil will magnify the situation.

I've tried every filter, oils, and voodoo hex trying to get rid of the cold start up clatter...nothing helps..mine has always done it so I live with it. I got stiff valve springs also...I just assume the oil drains out and it clatters. I still run mid 11's so it's not hurting anything.
