Sounds like a loose tappet in the header, though I'm just a back yard mechanic.
u need to flush engineuse right viscocity oilfrom flood water in engine you have some debri left in engine that is not allowing lifters to seat properlyprobably still have some water in lifters
more than likely you need a new radiator for it, when you install it back flush the engine.
Changing a valve cover gasket really has nothing to do with an engine starting or not. You need to check your power and gas for problems in starting.

replace temp sensor it give no falt code just a problem
ticking sound in engine is usually not caused by a timing belt ticking is usually caused by worn cam shaft or clifters most cars now have hydraulic lifters. if oil is low it will cause ticking. if a lifter is worn it will cause ticking these should have been ckecked for wear when replacing timing belt
The ticking may be due to any of a number of things, including worn lifters or noisy injectors. Is the ticking louder after the engine warms up? This would point to noisy lifters, since the oil thins slightly as it heats up. Have a reputable mechanic determine where the noise is coming from and whether or not it's anything to worry about.
Try to locate the ticking noise. Is it the engine? Is it ticking when you are driving? When you are sitting still? It could be as simple as a stone stuck in yoru tire, everytime it hits the road it ticks. it could be a lifter in the engine. Try to be more specific as to where and when the ticking happens.
Take it to a professional and have the valve lash adjusted. Also replace the spark plugs.
a lot of 3.1 engines do this, if it is not severe then it should be ok...
The check engine light is not related to the oil or the transmission fluid systems. It is related to fuel control, computer, emmissions control systems. The faint ticking you hear may just be the normal noise coming from the fuel injectors. All fuel injectors make some kind of ticking noise while they operate. I would say, if the check engine light has anything to do with the services performed, it would almost have to be a simple connector that may have been unplugged to move a wire out of the way, and then forgotten. Otherwise, I believe it would have to be a coincidence. Even if the ticking noise is a lifter in te engine, that still would not cause a check engine, and would not be the fault of someone changing the oil, as long as the oil is full.
no engine will have to be removed
Don't you still have the same social security number? Yes..
Change engine oil and filter with correct viscosity after using engine flush treatment. If noise still persists up PROMAR oil additive, it works a treat.
It is normal in cold weather, it's just the knock sensors. If however, it still ticks after engine is warmed up, e.g after driving for 20-25 minutes, get someone to look at it.
I have the same ticking noise and it seems to be louder on hotter days. I was told by the service tech it's due to the synthetic oil being thinner. I have my doubts, but that's what they said. Still researching for the answer myself.
There are hundreds of things that can couse a check engine light. You need to have it checked for codes.
