Dudes, I am a very responsible driver. I babied this engine, I have had over 20 cars and 5 motocycles in my automotive life and I am a technically very good pilot. The ticking sound was very weak, like I though it was the Direct injection technology going, within 2 days of it getting noticably worse, I headed right in. If you read the longer thread, you will see that an automotive engineer that actually works for an engineering firm that works on the very production lines at GM and Ford looked at my photos and gave me an analysis. It was a defective bearing from the production and a very recent oil issue on that bearing caused the louder sound. I had no way of knowing it until it go a little louder, it was in that monday morning first thing.

I am getting a parts list of what they will be replacing today, i will post it for all to see. I am just shocked that they will not honor the black book value of approx $27,000 on a trade in, but want to fleece me at $20,000. There is wholesale, then there is highway robbery!

more soon enough... thanks for all your comments.
