I ordered a new filter cover that will get here on Saturday. Ill replace that first and see if it makes a difference. As far as the black valve in the filter housing I cant seem to find a replacement, the whole filter assembly would have to be replaced. there is also another valve at the bottom of the filter assembly inside the block that I can't find on any diagram

If I remember right the start up rattle is usually caused by the cam phasers not locking into the cams at start up. either the locking pin in the phasers is worn or stuck or the hole in the end of the cam is worn so the pin can't lock in. The phasers have locking pin that work with oil pressure. When the engine is shut off the pins are pushed out by springs. When the engine is running oil pressure forces the pins back into the phasers. These locking pins are for starting the engine, when the engine stops running the pins come out BUT they don't line up perfectly with the holes in the cams. As you crank the engine as the engine moves the pins should instantly line up with the holes in the cam and the engine should start quietly. But if even one doesn't lock up properly you hear a loud rattle as the pin trys to enter the cam. once the engine starts and has oil pressure the pins are retracted and the noise stops. Easy way to test the phaser pins is remove the valve covers and on each cam is flat you can put a wrench on, gently move the cams back and forth with the wrench. Each phaser should lock up to the cam. If any don't lock up either the phaser is worn-dirty-worn pin or the hole in the end of the cam is worn.
