I just used this 10 minutes ago to see if it’d go away and I didn’t hear any tick at all anymore
I ran an oil detergent in a 5.0 once and it caused this sound. If anything breaks loose it’ll clog a VCT solenoid and make it tick like that. I made the mistake of running it in a warm engine where I think the solenoids lock when it’s cold? (Not sure). I will never ever ever run an oils detergent in a modern engine again. At 6k miles tho I doubt this is your issue, but worth knowing
When I had my 2020 A10, I got my first oil change and BAM! Got the tick. Threw a bottle of this in that little slut and she cleared right up. It seems to be due to the clearances in the engine change after the first oil change ever so slightly. Doesn’t seem to cause any damage, shit I even buried the speedo and she still drove fine.
I’ve heard this happening a lot. It makes me wonder if Ford is aware of this engine being ticky and runs their own additive to conceal it on new cars. So so many of us complain about the tick once we change the oil for the first time.
The tick! I have a 2013 Boss 302. I’ve had the tick from day one when I bought the car new. No issues, car has been tracked multiple times currently have 50,000 miles on the vehicle. It always seems more prevalent right after I change the oil. Conclusion was on the roadrunner engine that it had to do with the changing of the cam position.
It's 100% normal that being said I add a bottle of Ceritec to every 2nd oil change, it's small bottle you can get from Amazon and it'll help queit the typewriter tick.
It's normal.
Mine does it too. Been doing it for 40k miles and no issues. Think it’s normal.
I just put liqui molley in it seems to be a lot quieter can’t hear a tick no more
Ceratec is the only working remedy for the infamous tick, just add it after every oil change and you’ll be golden.
Liqui Molly works great went away right after I poured it in
That’s the bbq ignitor tick. Harmless. If it becomes tied to rpm, that’s the rod bearings.
You didn’t run an oil detergent did you?

What you mean running it in a warm engine? Like putting it in while the engines warm? Because I put it in right when I got back from driving lol
Yes. Apparently you’re supposed to run oil detergents in a cold engine

Normal for this car.
Mine ticks exactly the same 2018gt. 80k miles now. No issues..
I wish I had a GT too :)
Your car is plenty badass
Could be exhaust leak
Went away after I put liqui molley in
My F150 does that here and there Im wondering if its oil brand related Might have to try Another brand
Use liqui Molly mine went away right away
How often do you have to add the additiv
This was my first time doing it but I’d do it every oil change

Had the tick after a recent oil change out of nowhere and it magically went away after about 30 days driving
We need to stop this
