doesn't do it all the time, but at the end of the start cycle i sometimes get a 'ping' like the teeth are hitting some metal...

anyone else hear this?

btw - this isn't the wastegate rattle, but definitely starter based noise..

I've noticed the same thing on morning start-ups, just one quick light metal "ping" directly after the engine turns over. I too associated this as a starter related noise.

sounds like the bendix pushing the starter gear into the ring gear, then retracting a smidge making a slight ringing noise, kinda
