Yes as the oil warms up it thins and a slight knock will be more noticeable.

@@VTOffRoadAdventures thank you very much !!I’m gonna try and do them my self hopefully it goes good

@@LuisRomero-mi1tq Good luck! I put the writeup in the description.

@@VTOffRoadAdventures thank you!!

There are 2 major ticks. This is the consistent tick that is directly tied to rpm. There is the bbq ignitor tick that is harmless and seems to be unrelated to rpm.

Mine must be the bbq because it is only at idle and sometimes the engine sounds like new. I did develop what seems to be a tick on accel while cold after switching to the new valvoline restore and protect. I wonder if it moved something into an oil passage...​@@VTOffRoadAdventures

Thanks for the comment it boosts my video metrics!

No you can reuse all of those. The connecting rod cap bolts are not torqued to yield which makes them reusable.

Any word on it? I just got the same noise a week ago. Haven’t had time to take it in.

it was a rod bearing, replaced it and its running great now, 200miles, just changed oil after 200miles@@joshdavin8403

@@joshdavin8403 if you have this exact noise it’s probably rod bearings. Replaced all of mine and fixed

This is an off-roading channel, expect dirt and mud on the vehicles on the channel.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Likely engine bay

@@VTOffRoadAdventures u were right lol, mechanic got me right and no more sound💪🏾

@@cell85043 Happy it worked out bud! I've helped a lot of people with their engines and I'm happy to hear yours is fixed as well. Watch that oil level and drive it like you stole it!

@@VTOffRoadAdventures 😂 💯

Front most was the worst but they all had wear.

Damm okay looks like new rockers and lifters and timing kit for me

I've liked it a lot so far. I will do 65MPH+ down the highway and it holds up great. I've slammed it off trees at speed and it brushes it off. I've gotten it snowed on, salt splashed on, mud all over it, cold weather, hot weather, it doesn't care.

If you already had the cable with the antenna, and the connector with the same, you may only change the antenna, and connect your old cable with the new antenna will be ok

As long as the ends are the same there shouldn't be an issue. It is a standard COAX cable.

I ran mine like this for about 12k miles. Then just swapped out the bearings. Your mileage may vary but I was fine.

I got the same thing but only in cold start for about 5-7 seconds I don’t want to repair it now on the same time I mix 300Ml XL-3 with the engine fluids every change and it’s gone I tried so many products but xl-3 friction modifier is the purest I’ve ever seen I hope it helps

@@dTamerSam1 I recommend changing them tbh I got mine fixed around November and it had excessive amounts of shavings. Honestly I’m suprised my car was performing well with the way it was for so long

@@DamnelmoI will . Thank you 🙏

I did! The rear drums had gotten wet and required a lot more application that normal which is what got me at the end.

Thanks!

No it happened all the time. If yours is only when warm I suspect it is just setting in as the oil is thicker when cold.

mine is like this too but i drove it for an hour back home and it was still making the noise when i got there

@@VTOffRoadAdventures do you know what the problem might be?

@@lilaa855 Rod bearings like in my video description

Yes it is very distinct and loud.

@@VTOffRoadAdventures thought this is what I was hearing but I’m. Not sure I been driving the shit out of it even took it up to 170 racing a zr1 and noise didn’t get louder

@@VTOffRoadAdventures I’m sure If my rod bearing was trashed the car wouldn’t be going 170 at 7400 rpm’s 😂

@@derekaragon970 It still could. I did 140 with mine trashed.

@@VTOffRoadAdventures how much horsepower? I’m at 700 whp 135k miles

Yes it is feel free to reach out

I did rod bears, coated them in assembly lube, and changed the oil and filter. .That was it. I recommend doing the oil again in a couple hundred miles to get any remaining metal flakes out.

Yes they do all the other pony cars are gone now and they don't care. Look at the eco boost... now they admit they are bad engines since they now put it in everything.

Drop the K member, leave the suspension attached to it so it hangs below the car. Remove the oil, oil filter, oil pan, pickup tube, and splash pan. Remove the spark plugs Remove the bearing caps 1 at a time with a quality 12 point 12mm socket. Do 1 at a time because each cap can only be used on its corresponding connecting rod and it is directional. Replace the bearings one at a time. Use the following torque specs when putting the caps back on. You can slide the bearings out by hand usually, if they get stuck just lightly tap one end with a flat head screwdriver and small hammer so it rotates out of the bearing cap or connecting rod. You may need to rotate your engine to access some caps. If you have a manual put it in 6th gear, jack up the rear wheels, and turn them by hand. If you have an automatic put a breaker bar and socket on the crank pulley and turn by hand. If you push a connecting rod away from the crank just use a wooden dowel or similar to push the piston back down via the spark plug hole. Stage 1: Tighten to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Stage 2: Tighten to 38 Nm (28 lb-ft). Stage 3: Tighten an additional 105 degrees There are Ford Racing torque specs out there for the Boss engine, it will lock up your engine. Use the OEM specs for a normal GT I provided. Reassemble in reverse of tear down at this point. You can reuse all gaskets and bolts as long as you didn't damage them. Hand tools only except for the K member. Having a buddy makes reattaching the K member a lot easier. Fill with fresh oil and a new filter. Change oil and filter again in 100-200 miles to remove any remaining metal flakes. I'm the guy on the forums who made this writeup. I've helped many people indirectly and directly with these instructions. It does fix the tick IF your tick is caused by the rod bearing failure. Sometimes it is a warped cylinder, usually cylinder 4. Good luck and feel free to email me at cartermr8@gmail.com with any more questions!

@@VTOffRoadAdventures thanks!!! If the cylinder is warped best just to get a block huh?

@@RefinedMayweather If it is warped you have no choice but a new block. Luckily most GTs don't warp the block, the Boss 302s are more likely to.

@@VTOffRoadAdventures cool! What about the crank I read a couple people stated using sandpaper to get grooves or small imperfections out

@@RefinedMayweather Unless you can feel significant grooves with your fingernail, just wipe it with a cloth. The cranks are forged and the bearings should be unable to damage them.

35s, 6in suspension, 3in body. Body lift is coming off though as it is sliding off after getting loose.

@@VTOffRoadAdventures I like body lifts. No steering, driveshaft or suspension geometry to mess with. Less top heavy since only the body was lifted. You can tuck bigger tires with a 3" body lift vs a 3" suspension. But it does suck when they slide loose. I used locktite, lock washers and nylon locker nuts on my 3" body lift 91 s10 blazer 2door. 33's cleared with minor triming

I've patched all the floor holes by cleaning them up and putting some 1/8in steel over them with a weld. It isn't perfect but it gets the job done.

There are different ticks these make. This one is the more serious lower end tick.

It is very possible.

Good afternoon. Have you solved your problem? I also have a knock near the wheel on the passenger side.

Rod bearing failure. These motors are extremely sensitive to oil level and quality.

Did you tear down engine was it lifter or bearing

did you find out your problem? i did my bearing they were shot and its still making the noise i think my camphasers are also bad

Robert Volper well what'd they say

They'll likely say the ticking is normal and won't do anything. That has been the MO for most owners. If you have a warranty force them to get rid of it or request a new engine.

A rod knock occurs at a different frequency per RPM than camshaft/phasers. Also these have solid lifters and beefy cams. The bearings are soft and wear easily under suboptimal conditions. You're likely to have bearing failure.

Mine makes the same noise when car is turned on but after warm up it goes away what can it be ? And also when I accelerate between 1-2k I hear it tapping at higher rate

The solution is in the problem description. I replaced the gnarly rod bearings and the knocking stopped!

Stevie D sane symptoms with mine. Took it to a mechanic and they said the timing chain tensioner is bad. Also there is a ton of valve lash on the intake cam and the rollers. Mine also makes noise when decelerating with the car in gear and the clutch is engaged and as the rpm’s fall

@@tylerselliott are going to get timing chain tensioners replaced? Engine tick is so hard to diagnose. I bought a stethoscope, but the ticking is resonating off everything on the engine

15k would definitely cause some issues. rod knock would be the least of your worries. Any chance you ment 1500 rpm

So i have heard on the coyote that the tick that you can only hear when between 900 and 1700 rpms, a guy replaced the rod bearings and the ticking went away. I'm soon to do this myself in the coming month. Will update

Vincent I was one of those guys. I'm also the guy who posted it on the mustang forums years ago. You can hear it at any RPM but it is very noticeable in the 900-1700rpm range as the exhaust noise isn't droning it out at such a low rpm.

bigpigslapper Oink idiot

John SantaLucia shoot me an email at cartermr8@gmail.com

Carter Mealey did you fix it? My gen 2 engine I bought brand new that I just put in my 11 gt now has 7k miles on it and it started ticking at 1k and I have metal shavings in my oil changes as well

Tony Dahustla was a little low on oil

@@VTOffRoadAdventures I’m having the same Issue , did you fix it with the engine still in the car ? What’s your updated email ?

@@rascovlogs4320 Cartermr8@gmail.com I did it with the engine still in the car.

CF FITNESS It totally depends. In my case I got lucky and my bearing wore in a couple of spots without damaging edges. If yours has edges or is loading unevenly it could cause damage fast. I drove mine with the tick for near a year and over 25k miles but I wouldn't recommend it after I found out what it really was.

Carter Mealey thanks so much man I almost bought a whole new vehicle and traded mine in for penny’s on the dollar cause I thought it was rod knock. I really hope this is it. It sounds exactly like it! I’m gonna try it tonight. Thanks again brother!

CF FITNESS it is rod knock. But because our cranks are forged and how soft the bearings are they can take a beating and not get a scratch. Replace the bearings and you'll be golden.

Hey man I just removed my cold air intake and I have oil in the manifold is that normal?

CF FITNESS A little is normal if you don't have catch cans. The PVC valve vents crankcase pressure. The valve is on more modern engines to prevent oil from venting to atmosphere. Without catch cans it ends up being sent back into the intake.

Yes it is directly tied to RPM.

Shane Gorman they're likely to say it's normal but it clearly isn't. Make them check the rod bearings. I was quoted 10k from a mechanic for a new motor. 5 bucks later and an afternoon I had it fixed. 3k+ miles later it runs fantastic. Good luck!

Any luck fixing yours?

The dealership I bought it from wasn't trust worthy and they didn't identify anything. I had positive equity in the car and traded it in. I test drive a new mustang and honestly was disappointed. My 14 was way faster. The new one handles good but lacks on the top end. Then test drove a scat pack challenger 392 and even though it's heavy and came with way too skinny tires, it's was noticeably faster. It does handle ok, but not quite like my old stang. I drag more than I corner so that's what ended up with. Catch can and got 10-1/2" wheels and tire for rear and 9-1/2"s for the front on order. The power and interior is what sold me. I really wanted a gt350 but it was beyond what I could afford. Sorry to disappoint....

Thanks! Its been a year and mine has been running strong. I've taken 3 road trips 2 hours minimum. No problems.

Carter Mealey so what did you replace and what all did you do I’m having the same exact noise
