Is this the famous typewriter tick?

Hi all,

just got my new GT and ticking started at around 350 miles - is it the famous typewriter / barbeque tick?

Noise is at idle only when engine is warm.
Thanks

Yup, 100%. Use this to fix:

It should really be called the BBQ tappity-tap-tap imo.

I don't think that tic is the B'BQ Coyote tic. I had the tic for around two years before I got rid of it with Cera-Tec. Coyote tic doesn't have any set rhythm to it. It's more of a random hit and miss beat. And my tic was hot or cold at idle. Your tic sounds like it's is consistent with something up top.
You can try and add Cera-Tec 1 can for Gen 1- 2, 1.3 bottle for Gen 3. Just add on top of oil.
But I would get it checked more thoroughly to be safe.

The rhythm of the tic depends and is only at idle, if I rev up I cannot hear anything anymore, doesn't seem related to the engine...

According to the SSM (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191525-0001.pdf), the tick starts when the engine reaches operating temperature, but I have seen many people reporting the tic when cold - not the case for me currently...

Up to you of course.
Just doesn't sound like mine did and it does seem a lot louder than mine. My tic wasn't a steady rhythm more irregular like skipoing beats. But also different Gens so maybe that's why.

I m gonna say it s NOT the tic IMO. sounds pretty normal.
It s very slight IF anything. drive it, put in 1/3 bottle of certec right in.

Before you add anything to the engine take your car to the dealer and have them check it out. If you go after you pour in Cera Tec they might try to blame you for putting it in. But I agree, Cera Tec is pretty amazing stuff.

According to Ford everything is normal… even steering issues classified as dangerous by the dealer…

When my car was ticking and I took it in to Ford the tech said it was just the Thrust Bearing tolerance was so wide causing the tic. Nothing to see here of course.

I just noticed that the ticking noise reduces and becomes less loud when switching off Air Condition …. Any link???
