Its the tensioner not having any hydraulic pressure. Mine did the same thing. If you have the motor on a stand and the oil pan off, flip the motor over, pour some oil down the pick up and it wont do that anymore. It will be fine once you have oil pressure. Be sure to prime the pump before you just let it fire up.
