lots of cars do it , dont forget also its an ally head , my old turbo used to do it, maybe its just an older head, its entitled to make noises from cold , as long as its performing well, why worry ?

as long as your oil light goes off, after a few seconds, its proberly just the followers pressurising,

maybe due a oil change?
