[QUOTE="DG500, post: 15463996, member: 148777"] so, I just had a thought about this... My terminator used to get a similar tick when it was really hot (some nasty hard driving) but I would also get a little knocking from the same spot. I installed the head cooling mod and cleared up both. on the newer motors, did they add any coolant relief at the rear of the drivers side head? does anyone do the head cooling mod on the 5.4 and 5.8s? The lifters in these motors get soft when they get hot. My terminator would sound like a sewing machine when it overheated. It kinda leads me to wonder if a 170* thermostat would help. I would think if it were oil pressure you would be hearing all the lifters. I had a Mitsubishi Starion with a missing oil plug and every lifter clattered equally. [/QUOTE]
