Has only 107k orig. Last week started making a tappit kind of noise like it was low in oil( only like 1/2 qt.) Couldn't pinpoint exact location of the noise then the next day on the freeway I let off the gas and it dies. It compression started no problem but now the tap had become a clang bang....Pulled into closest parking lot and shut it off. I've got it home now.I am hopeing that someone here could toss out some ideas before I tare apart. And either go in the wrong direction or waste my time. Thanks!!
