Re: Cold Start Noises

I had similar noises on our '87 900s.  Only after it sat overnight, and
more noticeable on colder mornings.  I changed my oil filter, and it solved
the problem.  I thought that the 'NAPA Gold' filter that I had last
purchased was supposed to have a superior anti-drain back valve in it, but
the AC filter I put in its place cured the 'morning clatter'.  You might
want to try a Saab filter, or other good brand.  This is one reason that I
don't use Fram filters any longer.  It has a poor check valve in it, that
just doesn't hold up between changes.  Additionally, you might want to try
a lighter weight oil for these colder months.  The lighter viscosity gets
pumped faster into the gallies/bearings/lifters.
