    Ya video would not load.
    if it goes away after car has been running for a few. Most of the time points to a lifter not getting primed ( oil not getting to it )

    Syn might want to help me with this. But i had this happen on my first gp and i added a can of sea foam to oil changed my oil but subed a qt with lucas oil stabilizer. After a couple driving cycles it went away.

    What kind of oil /filter your are you using. A bad oil filter can hinder correct oil pressure (syn?)
