Well, sounds like youre the expert I suppose. How many coyote's have you had apart?

Good luck fella
Coyotes none, engines in general many.
An expert..... No, always learning.

Here is the audio clip, does your car sound like this?

Yes my car sounds exactly like this. Ordered new. The '19 I had also sounded like this.

Car pulls hard and drives great and I don't think anything is wrong with it.

My 2019 GT has this same sound. It tends to die down after it warms up.

Harmful or not, I don't think it is a good look for Ford to put out such ratchety sounding engines. The Coyote has been around for a while, you'd think they'd try and nail down these sounds. No one but car people will likely care, but I am a little embarrassed that my slick pony car sounds like this at idle.

Agreed, when the most dominant sound coming from my shiny turd of a car is that clack its an emberasment.
Ford puts out a tsb to say its normal for some and we should accept that. It's a slap in the customers face.
