Noise on morning Cold startup? [clip]
So on my morning startups I’m hearing a weird noise from under the hood. I recorded it and uploaded it , any idea what it is and if it’s serious? Yesterday it was even colder and the noise was different sounded like a whistle/whine that went away after a couple of seconds changing in pitch.
I have been told my engine burns oil based on somone saying they saw smoke from my exhaust on startup. Could the noise be the engine burning oil ? Or is it a leak? I checked my oil level and it’s OK
I haven’t changed my engine air filters in a while I think they are due.

Quote from page 56 of the AJ133 Technical Training doc:
"Each camshaft chain has a spring-assisted hydraulic tensioner operated by engine oil pressure. The chain tensioners also incorporate a ratchet mechanism to eliminate start-up noise. The chains are lubricated via oil squirt tubes located at the front of the engine block. Nylon chain guides control chain motion on the drive side."
Get yourself a copy of this doc from my Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8y4iax9hm2...%20V8.pdf?dl=0
Wear on those tensioners and their guides is a common and well known problem, when worn they rattle quite a lot, a few threads/posts around here on the topic. Here's one: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-techs-159928/

@OzXFR - Thanks for that document!
@hen555 - That might be your issue then!? Reading trough the thread that OzXFR posted, kind of hints to that.
That ain't a cheap fix that's for sure... do you know any good mechanic that could help with diagnosing this and help you fix it?
