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.
