I have a 2008 Mazda 5 with 94k miles, and about 6k miles ago the engine started rattling/ticking upon startup which then settles very quickly once the engine starts to warm up. It sounds like valves but I think I have read here on these forums that these valves are not adjustable. Is that correct? Also keep in mind that if the engine is still warm, there is no ticking when the engine (re)starts. For example if I run into a store to make a quick purchase and come right back out, it starts up without the additional ticking noise. Any ideas or suggestions?
