Knock when under load and climbing in revs is not good. Knock 'spikes' when shifting is no big deal. Previously, when seeing excessive knock (+5 or more at various revs during WOT), it ended up being one injector o-ring ripped and allowing air in. Note that this was not on the Mustang...

Must say, as winter continues I'm starting to consider an axle-back... I remember being firmly convinced that the stock sound is 'good' enough. Trouble is, as the days and weeks go by driving this silly Fusion instead of my sweet-arse S550, a nice throaty, rumbly engine note is sounding better...
