corvette did not have a task of looking classy and modern at the same time. on the opposite, they dropped some of their signature features.
so, 15-17 mustang wins imo.
I wonder if knock sensor is fooled by the rod/piston/whatever sound and is retarding ignition.
That would mean engines with this issue might not be producing advertised power.
Or even check gt350 piston slap clips. It sounds like rattle that you can hear inside car.
Tick is heard from outside with windows down and some reflection on the side.
Seems like < 2017 cars have a tick that is more likely is a rod bearing related. 2018+ also have some poston related issue. It is important to distinguish those. Tick sounds like bbq tick and piston issue is more like rattle as far as I heard clips. Correct me.
Keep us updated. This carbon thing is very unusual.

I searched for a word "piston" in the link and only found that pennzoil cleans them better
What I was more interested to know was why motorcraft chose to state at the bottle that their oil helped prevent piston damage.

Anyone ever paid attention on this "piston damege" notice on MC bottle?
Pretty weird notice for oil.
Like piston damage is something everyone knows of, happens every day here and there.
Interesting, that in two out of 3 cases MC 5w20 in the collection above is initial (factory) engine's oil based on car's mileage. And it looses viscosity from 8.5 to 7.3, which is a lot. But initial viscosity is asumed as 8.5 and (i think) is based on off the shelf oil bottle. How would they get...
I was hugely attracted by grabber blue, but as shopping for car price was taking its time I started thinking that I should get something darker and ended up getting lightning blue. But still think grabber blue with black top would be very nice combo.
If they had nightmist blue - that would be...
