Hi guys------does anypone know of a good mechanic that repairs rather than replace..or is that asking too much today One that you can actually talk to and trust ?

2003 Impala 3.4 lite 18600 KM --oil changed religiously. Twice in the last week lifter noise on start up. Shut off engine--restarted--no noise. Started again this morning--same thing but this time did not stop.

I think it may be a plugged oil line------but I'm not a mechanic. NOW if it had been a 289--that's a different story
