Well, picked the car up from the dealer. According to the invoice, they replaced the lifters and tappets.

As for the clatter, it is less than before but if I listen very very closely, I can still hear it. Its now one of those things that if I don't think about I won't notice it, but if I do try to hear I can pick it up.. I'm satisfied now to chalk it up to the just the way this engine sounds..

I read alot of post about engine tick being normal for the Crossfire so I don't think its anything out of the ordinary.
