Re: Was that a tick?
for jeff, try using lucas oil stablizer next time you get an oil change and see if that helps. When my lifters make that ticking noise, it's usually around the time i need to have an oil change. ![Surprised :eek:](./images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif)

Re: Coolant problem, really needs help!
Have you checked your radiator for leaks. I had a somewhat similar problem, but after checking my radiator found out it was leaking on one side. A new one cost me $90 which i installed myself.
