Every single little noise is not an indication your engine is bad.

When I decelerate below 4th gear (downshifting), I hear a click click sound. Like PVC plastic on PVC plastic. This is under 3/4k rpms.

Crazy to thing about the same car going through 4 rebuilds due to the SAME issue.... and the previous owner had returned the car and got a new one. When that car came back for a 5k service it was missing 3.6 quarts of oil....

As an outside observer this looks quite bad, for the owner or whoever is doing these "rebuilds". Four engine rebuilds when no one else has this issue anymore as well as missing oil? Give this owner a new long block, valvetrain, ecu and let's see if it happens again instead of a top end "rebuild" that's 3 times too many for an engine, especially with the newer ones lasting longer, something doesn't sound right.
