    My finance's car is knocking on cold starts. It's a 2010 with 100k miles. Mechanic replaced the intake manifold, but it's still happening.

    Looking for recommendation on a mechanic that will do a head gasket replacement in the DFW TX area if it comes to that.

    Really hoping it's the EGR valve, but I have my doubts as coolant is low.
