I hear you. My computers are behaving themselves right now, perhaps because I've been preoccupied with my car. Slashdevnull; sent ya a PM about PCs!

And speaking of clicking noises, folks, would anything you've ever encountered make a noticable clattering until the engine warmed up, and then virtually disappear? I mean, oil starvation to a valve? That seemed to be the consensus among the mechanics at a local garage around here, but their repair didn't fix diddly.

Are spun bearings caused by oil starvation? This is a noob question, but I'm a noob!


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...
