Does anyone else think this doesn't sound entirely healthy? Almost thinking something is wrong with the starter motor?

From what I know, it's using the M20 starter and lightened flywheel.

Strangely, it didn't use to do this before changing the camshaft sensor, and only seems to do it when cold.

Turns out it was the crank angle sensor - starts MUCH better now. Happiness!
