1.7m sea fury I’ve been building!

Currently weighs 5000g without batteries. I also plan on fiberglassing most of it so I printed it in a very weak way and didn’t really pay attention to print quality either since I’m lazy.

Designed it in blender and have been slowly printing and redesigning bits and pieces for the past few months. Plan is to run it on 8s, main issue right now is finding a good motor to spin the large 5-blade prop that I have on it currently. I have a 6374 170kv motor mounted right now but I feel like the kv is probably pretty slow for 8s especially since the propeller is a 18x14 5 blade setup

Cold Start Rattling/Knocking

quick heads up I posted about this a few days ago but didn't have a video so i took it down in order to post this one which has a video.

NA 7M

When I cold start the car or after it has been sitting, there is a loud knocking sound for about 2 seconds, then abruptly disappears. Idles smooth and goes down to around 750 when warm, oil pressure i think is a little low as it seems to be around 35 ish cruising at 3k. Honestly no idea what the problem is nor how to fix it. It has been happening for honestly a while and doesnt seem to have gotten any worse or better. Drives just fine and doesnt seem to knock other than on the cold start.

Engine Knocks for a second after cold start

I have a 1990 na 7mge. If the car has been sitting or if it is cold I can hear a loud knocking or rattle for the first 1-2 seconds after starting the engine. This has been happening for about the past few month and I have put about 1000 miles on it since I noticed it. There is no other knocking noises while driving or idling, only on cold start. Oil is clean as well. Please let me know what you guys think as I am not sure what could be causing it.

Edit: just some extra info in case it helps
Oil pressure is at 41-45 on cold start then around 33-36 psi when warm cruising at 3k
Idle seems nice and is around 700-800
