[TR] Rattle on startup

["Chris Bohn" <cbohn@sidepipe.com>]

Friends,

My TR4A, usually after sitting a while, often has a couple seconds of rattling
upon startup.  It then goes away and the motor purrs.  Oil pressure is right
there at @70 hot, 2K RPM.  Is this "piston slap" and should I be concerned
about it?  It tends to only happen when the car has sat for a while and
presumably the oil has fully drained back down to the sump.
