sounds occurring briefly during initial engine start-up may be due to prolonged engine shutdown or long-term storage, and may be considered normal.
Prior to engine disassembly, the customer description and severity of the condition must be confirmed:
^ Inspect the engine oil level, oil quality, and oil filter service duration.
^ Start the engine and once the engine has reached full operating temperature, turn the engine off for 10 minutes.
