I added 2 bottles of ceratec and never heard another tick after that. It went away almost instantly. Sure didn't help my piston slap/scored cylinders and now I have a new long block. No bbq tick yet at 400 miles on this one. Still lots of other noises, loud DI, rhythmic tic, drive line...

Anyone rashed their wheels yet and found a touch up paint? I've got a couple of small spots I want to get rid of, but can't find the paint code anywhere.

I've got the same springs sitting in my garage and camber plates will be here Monday. Installed Steeda irs bushings, subframe bushing braces, and alignment pins to go with the subframe braces I already had. I can't believe how solid the rear is now, but no nvh at all that I've noticed. Any...

I literally just installed the Steeda red diff bushings, subframe alignment pins and subframe bushing support. Already have the Steeda braces. So far, no nvh at all and drivetrain seems quieter and absolutely planted. This is on my PP2. Also pretty surprised that it's tracking perfectly...

EXACTLY how mine sounded.

Same here. Mine starts as the engine warms up, not there from cold start, but within less than three minutes it appears. If I'm steady on the throttle in the "rattle zone" it nearly goes away, any change to engine load brings it right back, even slight increase/decrease of throttle.

Right around 4800 miles. It has been doing it since around 1000, but seemed to be getting louder and more obnoxious, certainly not a sound that a car guy would put up with under any circumstances. I posted a video in another thread of it. I think the engine was assembled in May 18, don't...

Here's my cylinder, pretty significant grooves. They heard the rattle, kept the car and have me a rental, and I'm guessing the long block will be in early next week. Of course, I'm crossing my fingers that this one is a little "tighter" and plan to baby the the hell out of it and let it really...

Update, they said they were sending a short block, these pics show otherwise. Glad they are doing the whole thing!

I don't doubt it, mine is getting a short block right now, scoring in the cylinders. Mine was getting louder and, in my opinion, was more of a knocking sound. To me, a the term "rattle" is doing the noise a disservice. It sounds like something is about to go horribly wrong.

Search my posts, there are pics and everything

Agreed, but, I had the bbq tick. I think the aim here is determining whether the tick and "other issues" are related. Ceratec got rid of it, but didn't touch the rattle/knock, which is now about to be a new short block. For the record, the two do not seem to be related, in my opinion. The...

Call it want you want, I think it is more of a knock than a rattle.

I had the tick, from the first few hundred miles. I added some ceratec and it went away, haven't heard it in a long time. Unfortunately, at 4800 miles, mine is getting a short block due to the "knock", which upon inspection revealed itself to be scoring on in cylinders, as pictured. There...

Do you have any feedback on these? I bought them and have them sitting in my garage until my PP2 gets it's new short block. Are they really streetable? Do I have to recalibrate the magneride?

Who are you talking to?

Well, my verdict is in. New short block ordered, up to 3 weeks. Scoring in cylinders, pics on the way. He said that Ford is definitely aware that there is an issue with some engines. When I told him that at this point it just seems like a "hope this one doesn't rattle" fix, he agreed and...

I had the bbq tick, a little ceratec took care of that. This however, is a totally different animal. It's been doing it since day one pretty much, but I started also feeling a little rumble through the steering wheel as the rpms came down that coincide with the sounds, and that was that. It's...

Like I said in a post earlier today, dropped mine off this morning. The tech and service manager made no attempt to say that it was normal. The couple of folks in this thread that think there isn't an issue simply because they aren't experiencing it are absolute morons. Their posts are barely...
