[QUOTE="Grey03Cobra, post: 1261900, member: 8785"] A majority of the people I've talked to that have gotten the head swap say they still had the tick afterwards, and the only other option Ford gave them was to replace the motor (only because Ford dealerships typically don't do engine rebuilds). I've heard from others who have done piston swaps, and the tick went away. I've talked to a few techs here, and they say as the teflon wears off the skirts of the pistons (and because our pistons are "floating pistons") they get a bit of piston slap on the cylinder walls once the teflon starts to wear off the piston skirts. Either way, there are a lot of theories out there about what the tick is, I'll let you all know if the JE pistons solved the problem once everything is done. [/QUOTE]
