> 2. Something is up with the hydaulic valve lash adjusters (HVLAs).

Started the car up this morning and it's fine now. It clattered like startup
clatter for 1-2 seconds and then went away completely and now it sounds
perfect. Guess the HVLAs needed to heat up and then cool down again once to
fix themselves?
