Default 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'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
