Hi, Your problem could be the cam chain tensioner. It's hydraulically actuated and will allow the cam chain to clatter on start up if there is no more adjustment left and will get worse as the engine oil warms. Usually it's only the "slipper" that wears but sometimes the bolt that supports the tensioner assembly workes loose, "It happened to me!" So check it soon.
