1993 Legacy Turbo (7k on recon engine)
I have got a tappet noise when starting from cold. As soon as the engine gets warm this noise subsides. I have changed the oil and filter in a hope that this will help but it still does it. Is there anything that I can do to stop it? Is it just a common trait of the engine?

The engine had been changed prior to purchasing the car. I believe the engine was reconditioned at Silverstone?
When I picked up the car it had done 1k on this engine. As far as I am aware it is a std engine?
