This sounds awfully like infamous 5.0 bbq tick. Car was just driven and oil temp was around 200F, and it’s heard at idle only so far, haven’t heard it while moving, yet. I say yet because I read in some 5.0 cases it may progressively get louder. It’s doesn’t appear to be rhythmic, nor the RPMs have an impact on the noise pattern. Motor is 2019 gen 2 with 550 miles. Started to happen after the first oil change at 500 miles. Any input would be appreciated. Dropped it off at the dealer few days ago, they haven’t isolated the root cause yet. Still waiting. With only 5000 miles of ownership I went thru 1 motor (spun bearing) and now this noise, hope Ford can restore some confidence...because it’s not looking to good right now.
