1st i did a search and did not find a post
(( Clatter - Ticking @ StartUp ))
I just bought a 2004 GT with 4.6, 25,000 miles
when i first start the engine, i hear a ticking from
top of the motor, like the lifters , it goes away when the oil
pressure comes up, 1 sec maybe 2 sec u can hear it.
Sounds like when u first chang the oil and start the engine,
it will do it when >>cold or hot << sometimes it don't
do it at all. someone a Tech @ ford told me it might be
the timing chain tensioners seals leaking the oil
down to the crank case,
i have heard this on several mustangs
anyone else have this issue-
i use5-w20 motorcraft oil and filter
is this a ford thing.
