The main and rod bearings typically have a base coating of copper. The same goes for camshaft bearings, but some can have a copper outer coating. Piston pin bushings can have copper outer coatings. That's probably where the copper is from (break-in).
You'd see increased amount of iron and aluminum for sure. I'm not entirely sure the exact filler that Ford is using on the Coyote...
The cam bearings in the Coyote are just plain aluminum ... just like most motorcycles use. No bearing inserts like on a crank or rod bearing.
He shows a clip of what he thinks the "ticking" is at time 3:30. But there is no BBQ ticking that I can hear ... that engine sounds as quiet as any Coyote can be.
watch his previous video. he had bottom end tapping was pretty loud
His ticking is not even close to some of the other videos posted in this forum. I can hear is slightly at time 12:45 in this video of hs, but compared to other videos of the BBQ tick, it's hardly there. Probably a 1/3 or 1/2 bottle of Cera Tec would make it disappear. That guy sure has issues with conducting oil changes ... LoL.
All BBQ ticks are not the same ... they vary all over the place, and some are way more noticeable and worse than others. On the other hand, it seems like the 2000 RPM rattle in the 2018+ Coyote is more consistent in sound.
oh i know there are many different ticks. but what causes a random bottom end tapping? his might even be quieter than others due to 5w40 and not 20
Something like excessive rod big end side clearance, which could cause the BBQ tick but not produce any metal shavings/debris.
