I had a similar sound and it turned out to be the v-band on the down pipe had a leak, I really thought it was the alternator! It took me a bit to figure it out.

The car will be parked all week and start it the 1at time in 5 days no tap/chatter I can go down the street pull over then start it then it chatters and builds oil psi and goes away it hits or miss ?

Tensioner on the timing chain is not fully extending. Goes away once oil pressure builds. Just did my whole timing chain set for the exact same noise at start up. Found out the passenger Side tensioner was stuck
