   Yes, this is the rebuilt Jasper motor.  It only does it on a cold start for   
   the first 30 seconds or so and then goes away.     
      
   I did call the shop to ask them, and he said the 3.4 V-6's do that often on   
   cold starts and not to worry about it unless it does it constantly.  He said   
   if it starts doing it longer periods of time, to bring it in since it has a 3   
   year warranty.   
      
   I need to do another oil change soon, so will see if that makes any difference.   
   I only hear it for about 20-30 seconds after a cold start (been sitting for   
   longer than 8 hours).
