Default 16 WRX click on cold start

Hey guys, have a funky click on cold starts in the AM. Dealer said no big deal that it happens to all of their subarus on very cold start. Any ideas?

Click noise from the starter or from the motor while running? I feel like mine has a click type noise when it’s cold, but can’t say for certain off the top of my head

The link to the video shows the noise. 3 to 4 clicks on cold start then goes away. Sounds like tensioner slap or something

How long does this noise go for? This could be the valves setting, but this should only happen for a few seconds.

things make noises for a reason + getting it documented on paper with a dealers letterhead is a good "just in case" even when warranty is gone prior recorded issues should be covered.

Maybe lifters aren't getting good oil?
