[QUOTE="mysticsvt, post: 5478614, member: 17917"] Theres the basic three noises that our cars make that people get confused about. Injectors, head tick and then the bad one...usually 7 and 8 piston problem. Ive been through this and it was the bad one. It sounded like a ticking and was hoping it was the heads...and it was....the pistons hitting them. Sometimes it isnt that loud but it will get really bad. Noise was comming from the bottom end, not the top, as you can listen from the link. Now..Ford told me..that the heads were a horrible design and caused 7 and 8 to overheat, as if we didnt know this. They replace the motor with a redesigned 4v head in 05 and upgraded pistons. I doubt they will come out and tell people this as in a TSB or recall. But when your car develops this go talk to them-Shane [ATTACH=full]749623[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
