Is there any mechanical explanation for the Gen 3 Coyote BBQ tick?

No Tick in my 18 GT, and my 13 F150 5.0 didn't have one either.

Is the piston slap people refer to when the bottom of the piston comes out of the bore?

Is one bottle of ceratec sufficient cause they call for one bottle for 5 quarts but I read all kinds amounts from 1/2 bottle to a full bottle.?
I ran the heck out of the Track attack car in the heat with the AC and that thing was quite all day. Hoping mine stays that way. Instructor wasn't sure the weight oil on the Mach 1 s and they use Castrol synthetic (10-50w on the gt500s).

the piston never leaves the bore or your engine is instant scrap.


Hard to say how far that is, but as there is a wear line presumably this could create a sound

As for oil, I recommend the "Coyote Cocktail":
Laughing as I drink my Manhattan......................

I only had the tick one time, at the first oil change using the Motorcraft semi Synthetic 5W30. It went away after about 1K miles and hasn't returned even following subsequent oil changes. Am at 17K right now.

But to be honest, I stopped worrying about it, and I don't worry about the 3K light throttle VVT noise. Is part and parcel for having a DOHC V8. My Tundra makes the 3K rattle as well, and makes the Coyote seem quiet as a mouse.

everyone wants to say that they don't have the tick without knowing what it is. ill bet you if it is proven that the tick made the engine last longer everyone would have it all of a sudden.

this bbq tick has happened in other engines over the years and not just dohc engines and it turned out to be air bubbles in the oil

Well, Ceratec worked for me. Gonna try 5w30 to get off additive.

Does it sound like someone is shooting a BB gun at my oil pan when driving through a parking lot? Yep.
Can I live with it regardless? Yep.
Did Ford throw a mystery issue at the 5.0 to bring us Pony Boys to band together? Who knows

Mos2 did nothing so don't waste your money.
