Hi

Just a quick update,

I decided to use Sta-bil fuel stabilizer and avoid any oil treatment.

The car was parked for a couple of days in cold weather (Above 0DegC)
And I got a weird clicking sound coming from the engine.(See attachment for sound clip)
Just wondering is this noise is "normal' on a cold start or its something I should investigate right away?
No difference in engine rpm during idle and the noise went away after engine gets hot obliviously.
Oil actually in the car is Motol 5w30.

Storage is in a couple days only...

Im also trying to figure out a procedure when taking out the car from storage and came across something on the subject. A guys said he was removing the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine so the oil system will be pressurized before putting back the fuel pump fuse and do a start-up.
Someone find that this make sense?

Thanks

Could be anything: lifter, fuel injector, piston slap, rod bearing, exhaust leak.

Have you tried remiving the serpentine belt to see if the noise goes away when cold?

I get you have to store it during the winter where you are at. I would be so sad to not be able to drive my car on the nice days though. Storing off-site would bring me pain too. At least on the days when I don't drive my 911 I at least give it a passing glance in the garage. Glad I live down south!
