By the way, if the car has sat for a period of time, is there any harm in pulling the fuel pump fuse, and turning the motor over a few revolutions to pressurize the system before starting it?

I hyear what you're saying... but, in my limited knowledge, believe it isn't going to help much.

You've got those three hydraulic tensioners that "pop up" to put pressure on the chains riding on the rails. They're going to "flop around" a bit until the oil pressure is enough to mate the chain with the rails. I believe that whether the car is running or not... those chains are going to flop around.

My car does the rattle upon a cold startup. Once the car is warm, and it has sat for a few hours or better... and I go to start it... the rattle is absent.

I believe pulling to fuse isn't going to reduce any wear. Have the cam deviations checked... see what you;re looking at... and go driving.
