[QUOTE="Buggywhips, post: 14699568, member: 157885"] Mine had the same thing. Long story short - I got Ford Customer Service involved and they helped expedite things once I took my car to the dealership. All told the car was in the shop for 8 weeks off and on. I'd have them remove the oil filter and cut it open (WITH YOU THERE) to see how much, if any, bearing material you have in bottom of the filter case. Then have them check the crankshaft end play to see how close to being out of spec it is. If you have a significant amount of copper in your oil filter and crankshaft end play being close to out of spec then I'd demand a new engine. NOT a re-manufactured one but a brand new long block assembly. My car had a very significant amount of bearing residue in the filter and my crankshaft end play was still in, but almost out of, spec and my engine was replaced. I had two rod bearings with scoring and a main bearing with excessive wear. At the time the car was NA with only a CAI, tune, and exhaust. If you don't have any material in your oil filter and your crankshaft end play is well within spec then they will probably tell you that the sound is normal and to not worry about it. I installed a Paxton SC after about 2,500 miles worth of easy driving and waited 7,500 miles (painful) before it's first oil change. I took it to the dealer and showed them that the engine was tick free and that they needed to do the first oil change to see if the tick came back. If so it was an issue with the engine and not the SC/mods. So far so good. No tick! What worked for me was going straight to the Service Manager and talking through the problem with him very calmly and worked with him closely to try and figure out the problem. I'm not a patient man, but knew exercising patience and polite persistence was the only way this engine was going to get replaced. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
