on cold start, my engine makes a knocking/ticking sound, 2 or 3 knocks per sec, for about a minute (if left idling)
I've no idea what this is, but I'm guessing it's not good and probably terminal. anyone know what it could be?

Jimmy The Apprentice: we're gonna sell him to Mr Krapopolis?
Mechanic: Your a dull boy Jimmy.

Maybe bearing noise from one of the pulleys? That's what mine is doing at the moment?

my MA70 supra does that too, i am quite sure it is a valve related thing in my case. It's a ticking kinda sound, and definetly is coming form under the cam cover.

Oils not coming up into the head until it warms up a little?

That would mean no oil pressure anywhere in engine and also glowing oil pressure light.
Pistons often makes some noises when cold.

ok, so hopefully not terminal then.
the tapets are a bit noisy even when warm, so I'm guessing it's not 100% under there.
it kinda fits in well with the awful noise my power steering pump is making
