No bar work yet.

The ram would knock/rattle on start and bumps but a lower, less tinny noise.

I think you might be on the money It was getting late and I started it and heard the clanging again. Had a look at the rams and found it very sloppy at the top bush, inf act the rubber kept falling out as I rocked it.
oh well another job

Get someone else to start it in the morning, it may go through a cycle on startup and you will see/hear the movement better.
