Help with engine noise after car being parked for a long time
This has probably been brought up here before but I haven't found anything with the search. It's happened to me a few times before and it's kind of disturbing. The engine makes a LOT of "clacking" noises for about 20 seconds if I turn it on after it being off a long period of time. If I don't turn the engine for about a week and a half- two weeks, it will make the noises. I'm guessing the valvetrain needs oil to function properly but after a while the oil pours out of the pump, and it takes a while to build pressure. Anyone know if this is normal and if will cause damage???

I'd move this to the proper powertrain forum but you haven't told us what car you have. Please add your vehicle information to your profile, and post this in the appropriate forum.
