2016 Mustang GT Ticking issue

[kenand1988]

New pre-assembled cylinder block along with timing chain, tensioner, guide, boundary opg and crank going in. Block should be in tomorrow, opg and crank spline should be here Friday. Looking at an ETC of middle to late next week.

What is the link to create a case with Ford?

It can't be done online. Call 1 800 392 3673 hit options 1,5,5 then tell the rep you want to open a case for an issue you're having with the car.

Awesome brother.

Block arrived today. Dealer has everything to begin tearing out the old engine. Service advisor mentioned something about "once ford approves the new engine" I clarified that he just means the short block and then that Ford hasn't approved the cylinder block yet but apparently the dealer feels so confident that they went ahead and ordered one.

Went by the dealer today to drop off the parts I ordered. The service advisor said the engine is fully out and disassembled and so far the tech has not found anything wrong. They still plan on putting the short block in regardless. They think it may all be back together by Monday afternoon. The advisor said if this does not work we the issue they will order new heads as well.

Did the tech inspect and measure every one of the crankshaft and rod bearings, and the journals on the crankshaft?

I'll be sure and ask that question Monday.

Holy crap, did they not give you crap over aftermarket parts? I'm probably going to be in the same boat soon and would love to get them to install OPG and CS while they're at it.

Also, did you push for a long block and how much push back did you get? You'd think if the next step was heads that they would skip all the hassle and just give you a long block.

I haven't pushed for it. Without them finding something wrong I don't really have a point to argue from. The aftermarket parts switch relatively easily but I am having to pay 100 for the opg gear to get installed.

One more delay. The new cams came in yesterday. Service manager called and said should be ready next Wednesday. I have a F-150 ecoboost loaner so no problem. The F-150 ecoboost 10 speed is real peppy. If I was looking for a pickup it would be on my list.

Finally had a chance to get the tick on video. I feel as though it is getting worse. Switched to 93 octane today for the hell of it for the first time since i bought the car (may get power pack 2 once this gets resolved).

That is exactly what mine sounded like. No tick with cold start. Ticking starts at running temperatures around 185 degrees. The hotter the weather the more pronounced the tick. Started after an oil change. Only used Motorcraft full synthetic. Found metal shavings in the oil pan and now getting a short block and cams complements of FOMOCO. Not sure if tick is related to the shavings. Welcome to the Ford Barbeque Tick Club.
