    Hey everyone, I just picked up a 03 Cobra w/ 10k miles on it and it is making a fairly loud ticking noise on the back right drivers side of the engine. I had several people look at it and they said it was a lifter that needed replaced. Anyone have ideas to what would cause this? Ford won't touch...
