Mine does the same thing too. I’m still running the original tensioners, but I’m using an LN spin on adapter. If it sits a couple of days it does the rattle thing.
It almost seems like the early 5 chain engines make the start up rattle more than the later engines.
I cringe when it rattles, so I turn the key until it just fires and the shut it down. I do this three times to prime the tensioners and it doesn’t rattle.
