Engine Tapping at start up by bonz1

I have a 08' Colorado, I-5 with 4500 miles. My question is at cold start up I hear what appears to be the valveIt only lasts for 2-3 seconds. Just don't feel that the engine should do that. Took it to the dealer and was told it was baffles in the muffler.(?) Didn't believe him and it still occurs. Back for a second trip. Tech checked the settings and was told that it is normal for the truck(excuse). Stopped back and started 4 vehicles with I-5's. 3 out of 4 tapped at cold start. The one that didn't had been driven earlier. Love the truck. Power is great! comfortable but if this thing is going to suck or bend a valve at 50000 miles I'm going to unload it. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
Thanks

In some trucks it is a normal sound of the fuel injectors.

thanks for the help. Do you know if it is common in the I-5?
 
Thanks

Check out the forum for engine problems. Also, you may consider switching to a higher quality oil (e.g. synthetic). Good luck.

No, I am not sure about the I5 and fuel injector sounds. A friend has a Dodge Intrepid and that was his issue though his injectors were going bad. Sounded almost like the engine valves initially when I checked it out.
 
Put some fuel injector cleaner in the gas and see what happens.

hi
 sorry to hear about your problem .I also had the same issue read my post on my 08 canyon they finally had to take it back . the problem centers around the timing chain tensioner. They adjusted mine and the issue went away not totally but better .I didnt accept it. Now i have another 08 canyon which had the same issue they adjusted the tensioner and i am pleased with it so far. My truck (#1) had less than a thosand miles on it at the time . Don't let them tell you that this issue doesn't exist. I researched it and went to dealers and cranked brand new trucks and it is not some common to the I-5 eng GM HAS AN ISSUE!!! stick to your guns GM has a fix and knows ful well that it is an issue .don' let them snow you with the warrenity thats a cop out. I use the word ISSUE because GM says THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT AN ISSUE, TO ME IT's A SERIOUS PROBLEM
GOOD LUCK semper fi
