Did you start it a second time? Maybe the valve seats need to reseal. Two weeks is not that long though. And it never did this before? My car did the same thing and I said WTF then shut it off. I poked around (like I am really going to see anything) and then restarted. No more clicking after that. |

Look for common noises/issues with 240s. There are quite a few. It could be timing chain rattle, valve/lifter tap, timing chain guides. Could be rod knock. Were there any issues that could lead up to a rod knock or any internal issues?

How many miles? Did you check fluid levels? Make sure your oil is not low. Check for leaks. |

Well, the valve seals should definitely be seated by now. |
