Hi, I'm still fiddling (probably out of paranoia) with worries on my new engine wasserboxer. AFTER replacing the '86 Westy's 2.1 engine last year, the local Dallas dealership needed to replace both heads last month because of water leaks. The new head work was under warrenty, but now I'm hearing a ticking noise at idle. It's loudest when first starting up, after sitting a little while. The dealership looked at it and then readjusted the lifters and replaced the ones on the driver's side. The noise is still there. Should I be concerned?? It runs great except for this noise. I don't beleive it used to make this noise before the heads were replaced. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. Not only the cause, but what you think I should tell the dealer (if necessary). Thanks! Vance
