Ok I did what the dealer advised me and changed out the o-rings in the oil pan. Flushed the engine and converted to mobil 1 too. The job was actually fairly easy and didn't require taking the front end all apart or even the motor mounts... the only problem was the power steering lines and the insane almost non-removable brackets! (class action incinvience suit against the engineer that came up with them???) =) Anyways... The repair seemed to take care of MOST of the ticking. Now it's just an intermittent ticking... which is still driving me insane!

It kind of goes... tick.. tick.. tick.. quiet a few seconds... tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. guiet again... and so on like that.

Any ideas as to why it's still doing this? I had a subaru that did this due to a hardened oil pump cam seal letting air in... is it something like that? Could one of the lifters gone bad from ticking for who knows how long? Any Ideas are welcome.. I can use them. I love the car just hate that it sounds like it's about to fall apart... not to mention embarassing at city traffic lights and the such.

Thanks

p.s. Does this both cold and warm... noiser when cold
