Consumer Description

EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE NOISE (TICKING LIFTERS & PISTON SLAP) AT 40K; DEALER REPLACED SHORT BLOCK ENGINE, BUT PROBLEM WAS BACK BY 60K. IN SPITE OF CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 2K, USING A SYNTHETIC (MOBIL 1 AND OTHER FRICTION REDUCERS - SLICK 50, PROLONG) MY PROBLEM PERSISTED. IF I ALLOWED THE OIL TO STAY IN W/O CHANGING FOR MORE THAN 2K I WOULD GET THIS LOUD, TERRIBLE TICKING NOISE WHEN I STARTED IN THE MORNING AND EVEN WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS YOU COULD HEAR THIS TICKING OVER THE HIGHWAY NOISE. I HAVE LIVED WITH THIS PROBLEM DURING THE LIFE OF THIS ENGINE FEELING POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM MY ENGINE, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT COULD HAVE PERFORMED EVEN LONGER IF THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T EXIST.
