Hi guys i fired up the beast today and noticed a loud ticking noise coming from the throttlebody / alternator area. I could hear the noise from the cockpit
So i drove 2 minutes down the road and the noise was gone. It was a cold start. That is about as much info i can think of. Should i be worried? Thanks for reading.

It'll just be cause it was cold and it took the oil a minute to get around everything
