Are you sure its not just the exhaust system piping, mufflers and covers contracting with the lowering temperature to make the sounds? all cars do that really even my honda 5 cylinder does
Or is it something inside of the engine that you thinks creating the noise?

Once I asked a mechanic friend about a 'ticking noise' that mine was making - I knew where the noise was coming from so I pointed to 'it' and asked "what's this?" and he said it was some kind of fuel something or other... Really can't remember what it was but it was a smallish black boxy-type thing. But as Mike said, it could well be hot metal contracting as it cools?
