    Ok i had another guy look at it yesterday and I left the car overnight. He called me a minute ago with the new. He took the valve covers off and said he found 2 busted valves, bad springs, and a broken tensioner. I cant see all this stuff being bad on the car and it still drives great. I sure hope to God that he doesnt know what the hell he is talking about. A member PM'd me that works at the Mercury dealer in Arlington so i am going to take over there to them tomorrow and see what that say. This is turning into a big headache.

    Well it may be a while, Ive had 8 different mechanics look at it and they all said different things from, it maybe the gas, to it maybe the oil, to it maybe the valves, to it maybe the tensioner, to it maybe the valve springs. Im just tired of dealing with it all together, I just want the freaking noise to stop, I have spent about $400 so far trying to figure out what the noise is.
