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?

almost all engines do it, mine does and so do my other cars. Just the metal contracting.

I think it's common and particularly noticeable with cars having stainless steel exhausts. The stainless ticks as it cools.
