THe day has finally come. I have had the tick since about 800 miles on my 04 Cobra. I have been taking it to the dealer. At first they said that they could not verify it, later they did but told me that engineering was working on the problem. Months went by unti I read a thread a few weeks ago about Ford releasing some new anr revised heads. So I called SVT, and they told me that the new heads have been out since 01/05, so I got the part numbers and called my dealer. The service manager called me back today and said that he has ordered me two new heads. I asked him if they were fully assembled, and he said that it is jus the bare head, and that the valves and all of the parts will be transferred from the old heads. Will this be a problem? I thought that they would just replace the heads with fully assembled ones? Do the new heads need any type of break-in period? Will it be OK if I put synthetic oil right after the new heads are installed and assembled? I was told not to use synthetic oil for a brand new motor, but does that apply to new heads as well?
My 03 Cobra had the TICk and was finally bought back by Ford. When they swapped the head, the only did the bare head and transferred the old parts as well. I just hope that these new heads will solve the Ticking issues that we have been having once and for all. I will keep everyone updated. THanks in advance for answering the questions. :thumbsup:
