[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 10199551, member: 110091"] Yea, good luck. As you can see on this and the other forums, I've had an "ignitor tick" since new that they have "solved" by putting a mystery additive in the crankcase. I have no confidence that the tick won't be back when I change the oil. Plus, I have what sounds like a 'lifter tick' at idle that they tried to call normal at first, but eventually they tried to solve by re-torquing the "cam caps." Still sounds as bad as ever. My problems are solved by just swapping out the motor, but Ford won't do it. Ford Customer Service has been useless. I've had so many issues and drama with the engine noises, I'm surprised I haven't been accused on the forums of being Chicken Little (ala argetni). I haven't even tried to address this "piston slap" issue (and had mostly kept quiet because of the Chicken Little concern). Good luck when getting that one fixed. [/QUOTE]
