Valve Tick Issues
 

Sitting and waiting for the the new JKU to show up, So i start reading on other forums about the Valve tick issue with the pentastar V6.

Has anyone here had or have friends with the issue?

I wont lie Its got me spooked a bit.

I havnt heard of any with issues built after Feb 2012, and I use 5w30 (reg oil)

Re: Valve Tick Issues
 

I've got 3500km on the clock and mine has valve train noise on start up for 2 or 3 seconds till the oil pressure builds.
I never really thought anything of this but is this a major issue with the new 3.6

From What i have read, Looks like a total Left Head replacement might be needed.

C'mon, really?

If it is a head problem , the noise will 'not' go away after the first few seconds
