have a look at this, this does not sound like a valve opening:

That sound right there was way different than the single clank that could be heard on that long chain of videos. if the sound is only during cold start is can possibly just be attributed to the gear or other internal not having oil lubrication at the moment of the start. Does that sound occur during a hot start or while the car is already running?
