i'm gonna leave this to some one who actualy knows the DOHC engines (unless i'm gonna get a go ahead on fixing the one that is knocking in my shop).

I wouldn't trust the dealer too much. They are more than glad to take your money & do absolutley nothing (i deal with many of them every day).

Again i'll let some one with more experience with these engines chime in.
