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.
