Dave,
The hydraulic lifters can gum up a bit when the vehicle is not driven regularly. You can get an oil additive that will free them from any good parts place.

Sticky Valve

Is there anything I can do to treat or prevent the occasional engine chatter
caused by sticky valves after the car has been standing for a few days. Today
the chatter was loud as ever for about 5km then went.
Thanks Dave
