Loud, diesel-like rattle sound on cold start - cam phasers?

[alrashid2]

Thank you guys for the reassurance. I'm hoping that's all it is.

I went and did a cold start after sitting for 4.5 hours. It was definitely quieter, but almost sounded like there was still some rattle? But then again maybe my engine sounded like that before...

Oddly enough now when I shut her down, the engine makes a weird raspy sound like a fan scraping something. Didn't do that before. Gonna try to not be so picky.

Thanks guys will report back after the next repair...
