Thats one thing Ive noticed working around a lot of BigCams and Detroit 60 series, in cold weather Big Cams start right up after only one or two full crankshaft revolutions, and Detroits are really hard to start unless you have a heater on them and hot, and I do mean "Hot" batteries. Not knocking Detroit cuz they are tough as hell but Big Cams sure do start easier
It can be the clutch or the metal fans themselves can be noisy like that. It could also be the air compressor. Mine makes a lot of racket when charging up. After charged up and with the fan shut off it idles smooth and quiet. It could also need the valves and injectors adjusted.

The Cabover in my videos used to rattle like that, it had something to do with the fan clutch.

it's got that fan clutch on it so it makes some racket. I think when it's warmed up it doesn't do it i don't think.
