It is most likely a normal condition. The engine needs to build up oil pressure to lubricate the rollers. No damage should result. it is not the roller lifters it is the piston pin it has a slight amount of play and when the piston heats up the aluminum will expand and quite up

What will cause roller lifters on a 1996 Chevy Z-71 Vortec to tap on cold starts?

I would not worry to much about this noise when the motor is cold; engines have clearanaces that come together at operating temperature. If this noise happens when the motor is at operating temperature then you might have a problem.


Why was the roller coaster invented?

The roller coaster is a popular amusement ride developed for amusement parks and modern theme parks. LaMarcus Adna Thompson patented the first coasters on January 20, 1885. In essence a specialized railroad system, a roller coaster consists of a track that rises in designed patterns, sometimes with one or more inversions (such as vertical loops) that turn the rider briefly upside down. The track does not necessarily have to be a complete circuit, as shuttle Roller Coasters exhibit. Most roller coasters have multiple cars in which passengers sit and are restrained. Two or more cars hooked together are called a train. Some roller coasters, notably Wild Mouse roller coasters, run with single carsto have fun.

Is a deck pad or roller better for staining a deck?

It depends a lot on the type of wood you are staining. The last one I stained was made of very smooth pine planking. This was ideal for the pad and my stain went on very smoothly and quickly. I've done others where the wood was not so smooth and in thse cases a roller worked better.
