All injectors tick but some 5.0s have an additional tick besides the injectors. There is a lot of controversy on the cause but it usually presents itself after an oil change. My Mustang never had that tick but I was in a Mustang club and several members definitely had it. Ford says it is not harmful to the engine and calls it normal. Adding Ceratec to the oil has been known to stop it. I have witnessed that myself but do not have an explanation for how or why it works.
Have heard this also. Ford does not recommend oil additives. It may void your engine warranty.

It’s the direct injection causing the ticking noise. They all do it.No it's not. The noise comes from down low in the crankcase area.

2022 Mustang GT Premium 401 A...Just had an oil change done and this is the INFAMOUS type writer ticking sound that FORD says is normal !!!!
If this normal what is causing this sound and what is making this sound ??
Nobody really knows what causes it. i have a 21 Mach1 and I have no ticking. I change my own oil and use Motorcraft 5W-30 synthetic blend oil and filters. They say it doesn't cause any harm but it is annoying my friends F150 does it.

From the Detroit News. What Ford is doing now.
Farley said Ford is now “testing vehicles to failure” and running them “at extremely high mileage” to discover quality problems before they reach customers. It will take as long as 18 months to see the benefits of that new process show up in lower warranty costs.
“It makes our quarters lumpy and it’s challenging, but it will reduce warranty (costs) over time,” Farley said.
I wonder what "at extremely high mileage" is. To me it would be 300K. Thoughts?

I thought they had a new "quality guy" that was suppose turn this recall stuff around. Guess it's just the same old same old at Ford.

I wonder if they are going for the historic record of the most recalls too...

Who is building this Multimatic?

Your ignition switch may be faulty. I would start there.
Try getting help on one of the Mustang forums like Vintage Mustangs.

When you raise prices $4k - $8k in 2 years you can afford to cut prices,
Good one raise prices then roll them back and tell the consumer they are saving money. LOL

Something is wrong at Ford. I can't put my finger on it though.
They are biting off more than they can chew, and they can't seem to get a handle on quality issues.

Usually when just draining the coolant from the radiator there will always be some left in the block. I would pressure check the the cooling system. I still bet you have a cracked cylinder or head.

Let us know when your boss offers you a raise and you turn it down because you’re not greedy.I'm retired. And getting a pay raise that is deserved is not being greedy. But over charging for something is.
Like dealers up charging over MSRP.

But at the same time you could take him to court (if your doing the right thing), which would be the US having trade sanctions against China or India till they clean up their act also.I agree, but that is not happening. Until it does the pollution will remain.
Cheap labor and goods will keep the pollution going on for years to come.

That is like saying if your neighbors live like pigs it doesn't matter what your property looks like because of them. Its just a cop out or excuse not do anything
No it's not like that at all. If your neighbor is polluting the air and water it also affects you even though you keep a clean yard and don't pollute. You can't clean up his pollution by no polluting yourself. It's like shoveling shit against the tide.
-
If it's about emissions nothing will change on this planet if China, India and some other nations don't do anything about it. The USA can cut back to zero emissions and it just won't be but a drop in the ocean of change.

I heard fire risk. Don't worry though Ford will have a work around. Maybe an onboard fire suppression system. That would do it and they can make it an option to cost you more.
Hey, at least it wasn't a recall (yet).
-
Were the gaskets blown when you removed the heads? Did you even look at them?
I would say you have a cracked head or a cracked cylinder.

Rich people are stupid when it comes to vehicles. Just watch Barret Jackson auctions.

I don’t see them competing head to head for a particular buyer. The buyer either wants a BEV or doesn’t want a BEV. You don’t buy a BEV on impulse. I also don’t see someone going BEV then switching back to Ice.I would like to see the statistics on that.

I wonder how they will deal with the batteries in a crash. What about fire risk?
-
It would be nice if Ford would at least tell us where the noise is coming from or what is causing it. Is that to much to ask?
5.0 "tick"
