Hey Everyone,
I have a 2018 GT PP1, with only 12k miles on it. I bought it used with 7k miles on it about a year ago. My car has a lot of the "normal" characteristics of a Coyote V8 of this generation. I have a mild BBQ tick and I also have the 2k rattle. Other than that, to me it runs really well and is honestly the thrill of a life time.
I was at a gas station filling up last night.... A very nice gentlemen pulls up beside my car... He's driving probably about a 2005 Shelby GT 350. He told me, he heard me pull up into the gas station and said my cars lifters are going bad. He said he could tell by the pops and burbles the car was making in 1st gear at about 10 mph or less.
He said the same thing happened to his car a million years ago and Ford replaced the entire engine. He said if I leave it like it is, the motor will eventually fail.
I have basically stock everything on this car except the wheels. The motor runs smooth other than the before mentioned "normal" noises. It never has any weird shakes or hesitations... it's just smooth. The stock exhaust has normal little pops and burbles in 1st gear off throttle coasting at low speeds.... At least mine always has.
I realize this is probably one of the most stupid and most uninformed posts this forum has ever seen, but I have no idea what the heck happened in my gas station visit.
What do you guys think of this whole thing?
Thank you for reading.
