This^ If your concerned leave it stock for a few thousand miles, most commonly a mfg defect or assembly issue will have come up by then. I think Ford probably replaced way too many motors just because the customers were so demanding about the "tick" noise. And every one of those cases (very few in reality) seems to be documented on youtube or a message board I waited 1500 miles and and then went E85, some wait longer and some mod sooner.There really has not been many actual engine failures. Internet makes it appear they are all failing and crappy motors. Yes, shit happens. Stock 18 plus motor has cleared over 1000 whp in multiple setups. I bet a fair share of the replacements where due to owners complaining about tick/rattle. The chances of the tune causing a failure is pretty low imo. Again, everyone has an opinion...
