Last time I heard that it was a spun bearing, I've got a new FRPP Boss rotating assembly in my GT now...

Man I hate to guess but I would say a cylinder went lean and started detention on top of the piston. The squeals could be the flakes of the piston. Pull the plug if it's black I feel for you. I hope it's not. Good luck

Not gonna lie, that's an odd one. Any change with the clutch pushed in? I also agree, pull the VC's, easy to do to get an idea if valvetrain or worse.

No change with clutch in or out. Sound changes with throttle input while driving. No driveability issues, smoke or CEL. Going into my local Ford dealer tomorrow because we have the hook up on warranty work. Will report back with the issue. I'm on percent sure it's valve train related. Thinking valve lash adjuster.

Lund tune? Lol sorry couldn't resist.

Dude you are lucky to have the hook up on warranty with a blower on your car. I don't agree with it but hey who would turn that down?

That is a follower, I believe.


I doubt it's the piston but I would have popped my valve cover off by now and checked everything if it was my car.

Sounds a lot like my old 351w when it had a header gasket leak. But videos can be deceiving. Get stethoscope or use a long tube to help isolate the locational.

If you are able to get warranty work with a blower on, then what are you even making this thread for? That is awesome! Go to the dealer!
