sounds like you got abit of piston slapping during cold start. As the engine warms up the pistons expand(expands much more than stock pistons as the forgies are aluminium). The machine shop probably gave it more piston to wall clearance for this, hence the rattling when cold start.

Its not uncommon to get some piston slap sounds from cold start, as Adam says, drive steady until it warms up and all should be fine :)
