When you change one thing, there's always a chance that the next thing in that operation will fail or about to fail next..?? So play the elimination game, one part at a time...?? until problem goes away, then check timing LAST, to complete that operation..!!!
Alternators can sometimes whine when start up on a cold morning, they run on full load till they get the battery back up to full charge. When the whining stops, switch on electrical equipment (Headlights, fan full boost, heated rear window) if the whining starts again its the alternator.
could be partially plugged catlyletic converter it will only get worse .could be the egr valve and or the map sensor three things a shop would have to check for you .
Most likely its just your lifters clapping as they make contact, until the oil starts flowing good through them, then it goes away. My car has been doing that for a long time. Never had any problems. The rods are pushed up by the camshaft, the rods push down rocker arms which then open the valves. The rods are round at the tips and sit in lifters that pump oil through them up to the top of the engine and then out onto the valve springs. If your car has a lot of miles you may consider putting a thicker oil, something like 10w40.
