Default A little valvetrain noise...
I just completed a bunch of stuff on my car. It hadn't run since November. When I first started it again, I could hear some valvetrain noise. At least, that's what it seemed to be to me. It went away after a little while, and isn't doing it now. Does that sound like something normal if a car has been sitting a few months like that? Just want to be sure.

Thanks!

It's on the agenda...right after registration and insurance, LoL...The sounds seems to be coming from the passenger side valve cover area though. Used a stethoscope, but don't hear it there.

Thanks!
