I have an engine tick which was not orginally there when I got my new cobra but has begun I guess around 500 miles and has not gone away. In a test to see what was wrong I changed the catalytic convertor's off another Cobra to verify the noise was not coming from the cat's. The sound is from both banks but the driver's side of the car is considerably louder. Once the car was on a lift it sounds like a exhause leak as it echos inside the cats but there was no leak. The SSM that some people have described on here was preformed but did not fix the problem. Ford Hotline told the service department that they were aware of the problem and that they were working on a solution. I was curious to see how many people out there are in the same boat. The interesting thing about this is the car runs very well, idles smooth and does everything great but the engine ticks bugs me. I hope a solution is found soon so I can continue to enjoy a great car. I found putting in Mobil 1 absolutely made tick quieter.
