It does sound like the o ring. Drop the pan off the bitch and change the oring. I dropped the cross member, unbolted the steering and pushed it out of the way. Worked like a charm.

why pull the motor? You're friggin' crazy - listen to these people. That o-ring won't take but an hour to get to and check. Both Cody and Beau had o-ring issues, they know what they're talking about.

Condition
Some customers may comment on an engine tick noise. The distinguishing characteristic of this condition is that it likely will have been present since new, and is typically noticed within the first 161-322 km (100-200 mi). The noise may often be diagnosed as a collapsed lifter. Additionally, the noise may be present at cold start and appear to diminish and then return as the engine warms to operating temperature. This noise is different from other noises that may begin to occur at 3219-4828 km (2000-3000 mi).
Cause
The 0-ring seal between the oil pump screen and the oil pump may be cut, causing aeration of the oil.
Correction
Inspect the 0-ring seal and replace as necessary. Use the applicable part number listed below. Refer to the Engine Mechanical sub-section of the appropriate Service Manual.
