I have exactly the same
I have exactly the same problem, possibly piston slap but I'm not sure.
If anyone has any information on this it will be much appreciated.

Have you guys had any luck
Have you guys had any luck with your noisy engines.
I have recently purchased a 1997 Terios which appears to have the same problem.
Mainly noisy when cold but can be intermittent, I do suspect that it may be a timing problem, when I put the engine under load it sounds like its pinking but if I juggle the accelerator I can make it stop & not reoccur, the noise practically disappears when hot.
I am looking into adjusting the crank sensor but need more info like a workshop manual would be great but very difficult to get hold of.
I'll keep you posted.
