are you talking about the chain ramps or the variocam? did you replace it with porsche's part or LN's?

my car has always "rattled" on start up - similar to the video you posted. but after warmed up it doesn't do it on subsequent starts. always attributed it to the nearly 100k miles on the original plastic ramp guides. the noise does subside somewhat right after an oil change but comes back eventually.

**nevermind the questions. i was mistaken about the part you replaced. reading a little more i realized what you meant**
