Default Knocking Lifter

I'm pretty sure I have a knocking lifter on my drivers side head. I've got an extended warranty on my car (till 95k) through Nissan (I bought the car at a Nissan dealership). I've got a couple questions about this.. do they normally do this kind of work through a warranty or will I have to pay for this? Also, If I do have to pay this does anyone know any reputable speed shops here in OKC?

depends on what type of warranty you bought? You should have some pamphlet that tells you your options and whats covered.. Sometimes theres a co-pay for services and you have to pay tax and fluids..

Then you shouldnt have any issues getting it repaired. You should also have the option to take your car as you please. Id get it looked at asap.

Dont worry about it, Ive gotten used to getting beat by all the stock WS6's in my slow Z. Maybe I should get an SS hood and even things up a bit.
