It happens only once a few seconds after starting and idling. Calling it a "clunk" would imply something complex. It's more of a metallic plink, like if you'd take your screw driver and plinked it against the engine guard.

One plink about 6-8 seconds after start up. No weird sounds otherwise. Happens every time at start up no matter hot or cold. I did the valve adjustment many months ago but I just really started noticing the plink maybe 1 month and a half ago.
