This shop refuses to fix my engine too....so that is THREE shops that would rather just sell me a remanufactured engine!

Ok...TWO "shops" since one of them is a "dealer".

Picked the car up.....refusing the new engine (was offered Jasper or ATK).

Meanwhile, drove around for a little bit, and as mentioned before...the more I drive once at operating temps, the quieter it gets (to the point where the ticking is not really there anymore).

Now I'm wondering....could it be the head gaskets causing the noise when cold which quiets down when warm?
