Probably the hydraulic lifters pressuring up after the 2 week sitting in the garage - quite normal, though I find with fresh oil it doesn't happen quite so often.....

Oil was changed just last month what about some sort of oil additive - like Rislone Engine Oil Treatment to help quiet it. I know some purest will roll over in their bed...but hey i put a Kenwood stereo in already.
