The problem is the noise reverberates off the ground, so its misleading for it to sound like something wrong w/ the crank. It makes this ticking noise very briefly on a cold start and then goes away. This noise will also randomly happen and then go away on its own.
Its so embarrassing and I can't believe this develops after having an oil pan gasket changed. How much would this cost to fix and could a do it yourselfer handle this?
Any ideas?
