Message	After 2+ months of sitting for injectors and other work, I finally started the engine in my car yesterday. To my surprise it was very noisy. In the past after 3 weeks of sitting it would tic a few seconds, but what I have now is a loud constant clacking. After some idling and warm-up I gave it a little throttle and it quieted down. Drove it around the block and listened again. Perhaps a little less but still there. WTF happened? PS I changed the oil and filter (Mobil1 10w-30, OEM filter) during the repair.
