I am wondering if others have heard a 'valve-clatter' or mechanical clatter for a few seconds on start up? My Wrangler, with the PentaStar...is only 4 weeks old (1500 miles).and when I start it up, it has a 3 or 4 second clattering sound. I know that the oil filter is mounted high, but is there an ANTI-DRAIN valve built into the housing that is SUPPOSED to keep the oil in the valve train?
I asked the chief mechanic at my dealership and he said there are no service bulletins regarding this sort of noise or problems with the oil draining out of the valve train...
I just had the oil and filter done, too...It's been making that noise since right after I got the Jeep...so, no idea what's going on...
Should I worry? :nerd:
