Whats that clattering on engine start

2003 Altima 2.5 Newly rebuilt Engine clattering on start up when cold. Continues until oil pressure light goes out ( Approx 1-2 sec.) Only on first start of the day all start ups after that normal. Oil Pressure 50 psi. Replaced oil filter with OEM filter, using 5w-20 oil no help.No apparent plat in rods or pistons. Checked Valve Clearances and Timing Chain and Guides and Balance Box Assembly no Obvious Problems. Should the intake Camshaft Varible Timing Hub have any rotational freeplay in it? It has Approx 90 to 120 degrees freeplay with timing chain removed . This is the area where the sounds seems to be originating.

It could be the hydraulic lifters. They drain out pretty fast over night and can cause that noise until you have good oil pressure. If I remember right Nissan is well known for that. Like mayer suggested a good oil may take care of this, as well as regular oil and filter changes. Also make sure that you use a good filter. You may also have less of the cold starting noise with the use of a synthetic oil. Do not forget to check that it is not one of the heat shields that may vibrate against the exhaust. Good Luck to you.
