Tickford Rules!

Hi guys,
Have noticed in the last couple of weeks that when I start my XR8 after it has been standing for a few days, that just after the engine fires, there's momentary metallic sounding rattle coming from the engine. It goes away after a second, and doesn't return on additional start-ups when the car is warm. Also, if I start the car the two days in a row (i.e when it just sits overnight), the rattle is much more quiet, or not really noticeable. Any thoughts? All comments/suggestions appreciated HP Dude.
