Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING LOW ON RADIATOR FLUID, BUT WE COULD NOT FIND ANY VISIBLE LEAKAGES. WE HAVE BEEN REPLINISHING THE FLUID. WE DID NOT THINK ANYTHING MAJOR. ON A FRIDAY, WE STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. WE WERE TOLD TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED/LOOKED AT. AFTERWARDS, THE NOISE CONTINUED EVEN LOUDER. WE HAD THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TOWED. THE PROBLEM INVOLVED THE LIFTERS AND THE INTAKE GASKET. (BOTH PROBLEMS ARE RELATED.) I RESEARCHED AND MANY OTHERS HAD THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE INTAKE GASKET. REPAIR FOR ALL WILL BE $1,000.*AK
