Hi Guys,
My 2007 TL/S has 130 K and its been a great car...last few months when the engine is cold is makes an engine ‘rattle’ sounds like valve/rods noise.(Im not too sophisticated when it comes to mechanical stuff!)..the noise goes away in a few minutes...any thought? Thanks P

They get loose or are too tight. So yeah.

Theres no self adjusting valves. Some have to be shimmed(very common on BMWs) or adjusted by a set screw
