[QUOTE="kevinp, post: 10445720, member: 106826"] Mine has had a similar noise since day one (2K miles now), if I lay my hand on the RH valve cover you can feel it. Dealer says it normal, not loud enough to start taking things apart, bring it back with more miles etc. Its not the 'ignitor tick' that many complain about, its more of the dull thud/knock coming from the right rear of the engine. I even took the valve cover off to look, also killed cylinders to see if it went away and it didnt. For now I just ignore it, putting a blower on soon so warranty will be void anyhow. Be a good reason for a forged shortblock if it lets go I guess. I'm curious to see what they find with yours, mine isnt that loud and hasnt changed since new but who knows. If they find something on yours I may hold off on installing the blower and try to get Ford to fix it first. My guess is something with the cam drive/VCT, I've read about the A/C belt causing it since it doesnt use a tensioner but I'm not buying that just yet. [/QUOTE]
