Grinding noise, cold start

Ive done some searching. Im not a brand new member and cant find anything that relates directly to this. here is a video clip.
Its a grinding noise from the timing side of the engine. However it is a brand new timing set.
Any ideas? Its only on cold start.
edit: goes away when warm.

I have a great offer on a kit, and if I choose not to get a DD for a few months ill probably snag it and wait to install it for a bit. But yes next weekend ill pull off the valve cover and take a look.
