Rattles after sitting

If I leave my truck sitting maybe a few days then start it up the thing rattles for a few, like all the oil drains out of it. It started doing it after we rebuilt the engine. Also Im running a K&N filter. Any help?

does the filter have a check valve in it? i use to run the cheapo fram ph8a's on mine and it sounded like a diesel when started, switched to a motorcraft fl1a and the problem went away.
