Browsing through Facebook moments ago and found an interesting post from a Ford Technician who also had the tick with his engine. He is claiming that tick in the bottom end people have is the crankshaft bearings, and what is happening is, once you start to see metal particles in your oil or oil separator from the bearings being slowly destroyed, they end up clogging oil passages so the engine is no longer being properly lubricated in which than you start to get scored cylinders and piston slap. He posted a pic of the metal in his oil separator and said it started to go down hill from there.
There you have it, my mechanic I spoke with over the phone a few days back eluded to bottom end tapping possibly being the crankshaft since that's one of the few parts that are in the bottom end than can cause that tap/tick.
He stated the 2nd type of tick which is similar, is the pressure plate, I guess if you never see any metal shavings in your filter, separator, etc, maybe your in this category?
What say you?
