[QUOTE="alcarames, post: 13542014, member: 130876"] SCCA, I found a great dealer that acknowledged the noise and also agreed with me that it was not normal engine characteristic. The shop foreman was on my side, they even found other similar issues in their ford dealer tech forums, some with mustangs and even the 5.0's in the trucks where it stated the fix was a new short block. They followed their protocol and eventually had to call the ford field rep who came out to look at my car, he called the field engineer who said he knows of the noise but he told the dealer "not to proceed" because it was "normal engine characteristic". My point is regardless how good the dealer is they won't pay out of pocket to fix it, so if ford is telling them not to proceed their hands are tied, which is what happened in my case. [/QUOTE]
