Wink Weird Noise on Startup?

When I crank my S2k it makes an odd noise that only lasts about 1 to 2 seconds. Almost sounds like the starter keeps going for a second or two after the engine is already running. It's gotten worse over the past few months.

Any ideas?

Jeff installed a sandblasted new TCT its not that not sure what It could be!

Starter is sticking. Mine has done that since I bought the car 2 and half years ago. Has not gotten worse or anything so I don't mind it anymore. Is a nasty sound though haha.

timing chain tensioner. get a new one from billman.


EDIT: just reread your post.... how long ago did you do the TCT? maybe you should check it for the sake of argument.
