Chevrolet Cruze 2017
Automatic
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I have a 2017 Cruze. Since I got it, I've been suffering with it. Initially, it had a radiator issue, oil and water mixing, and many problems until I fixed the original engine. It still didn't work properly. I went and installed an imported engine, and it ran fine for a while until the thermostat valve broke. I installed a new valve that opens early to prevent overheating. I decided to overhaul its suspension and everything else. After I did that, every time I start it, I hear a ticking sound inside the engine. This has happened before. Watch this video for the sound. Anyway, I took it to a mechanic, and he overhauled it from the inside and told me to use a different oil. I changed it, and the problem persisted. I've left it now, and I need your advice on what to do. If I had an 8-cylinder Caprice, it wouldn't give me this much trouble, nor a Mustang. It's a Cruze, after all.
