I have the infamous drivers side ticking head. From what "research" i have done, everyone says that there is no performance difference. The dealership has ordered me a new head and they acknowledge the fact that it ticks.
What i Do know:
*Ford replaced the head on my friends 03 cobra and the ticking got louder
*Someone with a mach 1 drivers side head just blew and he had the tick but no connection has been made *yet*
What i Don't know:
*are they putting a 03 mach 1 head on or an 04 mach 1 head. supposedly the late model 03's and 04 heads have different exhaust port.
1-is there anyway i can find out which head is going on? The ford dealership is just saying its a mach 1 head and they have no way to find out when it was built. My car was built on 7/31/03 and i don't want another 03 head.
*The competance of the dealership. How hard is a head install?
Sorry for all the questions, i just don't know if i should let it go and if something happens i have it documented that i have the tick or wait until Ford actually releases another fix.
What would you guys do?
