Porsche Crest 996 Startup Rattle



Has anyone experienced any kind of engine "rattle" sound on first startup?

This is a 99 model with only 50k miles. The "rattle" only occurs after sitting overnight or longer.

The noise goes away immediately, and never occurs again the same day.

I was told this is a characteristic of the first generation of the Variocam system and is not something to be concerned about.

Any comments or documentation available to confirm or deny this?
