Lots of threads here and other forums.
Apparently the early 5 chain motors like yours and mine are noisier with start up chain rattle than the later 3 chain motors.
From what I've read, it's the 4-6 bank tensioner that bleeds out and loses its oil prime because it hangs upside down.
There have been several revisions to the tensioners, swapping yours out may help. I'm kinda on the fence about wanting to swap mine out, but there's always somewhere else you can spend the roughly $300 it costs for the newer replacements.
