[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 16304022, member: 179203"] Just for reference my 5.4 makes a tick at idle on very hot days after its been driven around for a while. The tick will increase with RPM but around 1,500 the tick goes away and its just smooth motor sound. I isolated the tick to the passenger side, took the valve cover off and inspected all the valves, springs, lash adjusters and followers, all looked normal. Many 5.4/5.8 people have this tick and not had any issues and things like changing oil weight or oil filters brands have helped. Mine is still around and I've just learned to live with it. It would seem a lot of Ford engines suffer from ticking noises, if you ever read the coyote gen 1, 2 and 3 forums there are tons of engine tick threads, with most being taken to Ford and Ford saying it's normal.
