It doesn't look like the Berryman stuff is available 'round these parts unless by mail order, but how about the "Gunk" brand engine flush? I can get that at Advance Auto Parts stores. It's only a few bucks, so it's worth a shot!

If it is some crud clogging an oil passage, would that explain why the noise goes away when the car is warm?

Thanks for your time folks! I'll keep you up to date!


Stealth is best. Make it look stock. Confuse people. Bother people. --'00 Contour SVT in dashing Silver Frost. Completely stock. Gonna do some minor tinkering. Ultimate goal? True dual! Now... Just need lots of money...
