Cold start noise on a GT3
Does anyone else have chain tensioner noise for the first 15-30 seconds on a cold start?

+1, but only occasionally. Maybe 1 in 3 "cold" starts. Even though cold starts in Houston summers aren't that cold. Presume it has more to do with oiling (or temporary lack thereof?)

Don't be paranoid, if it starts you're good.

Two of the charming idiosyncrasies.
