Glad it worked out. It's not a common failure, one of those random things for sure.

I get the same noise for 15 seconds in the spring after my Spyder has sat idle during the 6 month long winter in Minnesota. Soon as oil pressure comes up, noise stops for the rest of the year.

Same here.... If my Spyder sits for a week (rare) on first start the top end is noisy. Takes maybe one second or so to clear up. I don't like it as it cant be too good but it is what it is.
