Only happens when moving tho, not exactly sure.... we figured out what the scraping was...
It was the heat sheild above the tailpipe going right under where the driver would be... it seems the muffler shop that my fiance's(its her car) dad took it to didnt use heat treated bolts to attach it.
it still does the ticking when you first start it, it could be viscosity, thats a good idea, I might try a different oil and see if that helps.. thanks again
