Re: Engine Ticking noise

They were going to charge me, but when I called to see if my car was ready, and they told me that wasnt the problem I said so im gonna pay you 1,099 dollars and you didnt fix my problem? He said well Ill see what I can take care of.

So i ended up paying a diagnostic charge of 254.00, even though I paid a diagnostic charge of 93.00 to have them tell me it was the manifold and gasket.

But they have now diagnoised it to be the fourth piston. The compression in that piston is 100, all others read between 150-160. All work has since stopped. They unpluged the fourth piston and the noise stopped. And now since they messed with my exhaust, it seems to be twice as loud as when it went it.

Would a spun rod bearing make me lose compression? Any idea on how much it would run to have that fixed? I put engine restore in there to see if by chance that would help, hasnt yet.
