    Does your oil light come on at idle at all? Or did you have trouble starting your car after the service? What your most likely hearing is a "Lifter Noise"....

    This can be a result of bad oil pressure which is common with the 304 oil pumps shitting themselves, but id start with the obvious which is most likely going to be the wrong grade of oil.

    You will need a thicker grade of oil, and if you couldn't be arsed to drain the new stuff out, then just get some Luccas* oil thinking additive and or "lifter free".

    Keep us posted....

    You may have broken a swaybar link and the timing is coincidental.

    It's a common weakness.

    Yeah, no offense, but Im willing to bet my life you wont be able to replace the sump.. Its a motor out job, so dont think you can just do it one lazy arfternoon

    You could always remove the K frame, but thats harder in my opinion...
