Default s2k rattle noise

MY01 s2k, sometimes at a cold start up, i hear this rattling noise for half a second from the engine at the instant when the engine starts .anyone experienced this problem before? this only happens occasionally and it happens at cold start.

its not normal but a common thing in the s2000...and aslong as you dont beat the hell out of it and let it warm up it should be fine ....

i didn't read on this problem too much but others have suggested getting your valve timing checked, or even getting the engine rebuilt :/...
