With regular scheduled oil changes, no oil leak present, engine made clacking noises while driving. Taken to dealer for inspection and was told to replace entire engine. Contacted manufacturer and had to authorize complete engine tear down ($1900) before they would come look at engine (no longer under warrenty). I'm waiting for further details, but have been told that the manufacturer will probably not help in fixing this problem.
