This may be hard to describe; my starter makes a sorta clinking sound, almost like diesel knock just when the motor starts, a mechanic said it was normal.Does anybody else have this noise? 03 4.8

It's not the Starter.. it is called "Piston Slap". and yes it is very normal.

Yup that sounds more like what I here. Thanks
