Default Top end tappets knocking on start up? Help...

When i start my crossfire from cold it knocks (tappet noise) but very loud. This lasts for approximately 1 minute. I use my car every day so it is not stood around for days. My mileage is only 12000 miles and 2 and a half years old. Some lifters have been replaced and were O.K. for 2 weeks. Has anyone else had this problem? I have 4 months warranty left. I have been told that this is normal. Some how I don't think so!!! Please can you help me and let me know. Thank You. Paul Hindle. Bristol. jp.hindle@btinternet.com Or leave a post. Cheers.
