Rattle Left Cylinder Head

Hi rodekyll. Timing chain crossed my mind but sound more from around pistons than alternator cover. I heard about ppl having noise from kick stand touching exhaust before (doesnt seem to be the root of my problem). thanks for the suggestions.

Guzzi Steve: Do V7 IIs need roller rockers?

The small block rockers are a bit different than big blocks, not had a rattle on them but no high mileage either.
As far as noise, there is little clearance on exhaust on frame parts .

OK thanks Steve. Will check exhaust for frame contact again. That said, not sure, if that is the cause, why it would stop after engine heats up.

The exhaust system moves as it warms up from expansion? Just a guess, but a few thousandths of an inch *might* make a difference.

It's really hard to tell sounds from a cell phone on a computer speaker.. but sounded normal except for a few seconds it sounded like an exhaust leak. Maybe.
