what oil are you running and how often are you changing it. Mobil 1 is i think 5w50 it's mega thin on start up so it get's up through your motor quickly. And although it's say's to change it every 10000 i alway's did it every 5 to try and elliminate valve train noise becoming an issue.

i run penrite HPR30. I run penrite in everything from our drag cars to my around town cars.This is a pretty new car for me (i am into older V8's) but it just seems criminal to even pull the rocker cover off for some reason.I will ring ford when they open and see what they say.But i think it's a lifter noise of some sort.from the pics i have seen they seem to be built in and non-adjustable.I change Oil every 10,000 to 100,000 and every 5,000 there after.
Thanks for the response guys. |

Does the noise go away, or is it always there?

But yes your right oil is a little thick but worth a try. |
