for all you 2.4L owners out there
does your engines have the same clicking gremlins as the 2.0L engine? we just bought 2 new cars...both with the 2.4L (2006 Sebring and a 2005 Stratus) and they both click like CRAZY and i've been getting worried... cause in the Sebring its been getting louder and louder!

If you wanna include the 2.4 in the SRT as part of the 2.4 lineup it's a lot quieter than my 2.0 Magnum for valvetrain noise.

It seems like more of a SOHC/DOHC thing than anything. The two SOHC cars I have owned made more noise than my DOHC, but not by Much.
A set of Mopar Performance lash adjusters should fix either car.

They all tap.... Mopar has a tsb out about it . All it really says is to use 5w-20 or it may get louder. But if you really bitch about it, the dealer will throw on a set of rockers, just to make you happy (if of course, under warranty.) Dealer was actually right this time.....

I wanna say for the 2nd gens there's always a TSB or something out for it saying it's a design problem in the block It's been awhile since I heard that, maybe a good 2 years now so I can't remember exactly what it said...

If I remember correctly, the block is designed with relatively little oil going to the head. There is an oil restrictor located in the oil passage near the top of the block. So by knowing this now, everyone should say "No shit sherlock!!" when someone asks if the tapping is normal.....
