Diesel motors due to there higher running temperature have greater tappet clearance to start with.So on start up can sound quite rattly till they warm up a bit.To still sound rattly after warming up means time for adjustment.

Does the sound lessen when it warms up?If so the tappets may need adjustment.Certainly a noise the 2H is known to have.I unfortunately sit be side a 2H in my truck,so tend to hear the motor noise just a bit.
