    Completely normal. No hint of chain rattle.
    Stop stressing. Regular quality oil changes and the engine will outlast the chassis.

    sounds normal, as above stop stressing out. When it happens it will be a distinct noise.

    Unfortunately this isn't true. I serviced mine every 10k, doing 30k a year using Quantum LL3 and genuine filters and mine rattled at around 135k. Ended up selling it. It was a 2008 ASB engine too.

    But there's plenty of 3.0s with double that mileage with no issues.

    My BMK engine is on 210K miles, and has a slight rattle at start-up, was going to get all the chains/tensioners done this year but I'm putting off now until next year, it's not got any worse and has been like that for a few years.

    The tensioners are operated by oil pressure, so i would say a slight rattle on start up is normal. A rattle at any other time would be a concern.
