Problem: Clicking noise. Turned out to be a bad wrist pin. Covered under warrenty at Hoffman Ford in Harrisburg. When they put it back together on Friday, it wouldn't start. I hope to have her back tomorrow.

I was told that there is a known problem with the 2.5 engine. If you let the oil go 1/2 quart low and corner hard, you can fry the engine because of oil starvation. I hear that there is an aftermarket flapper baffle you can get, but don't know where.
