Is this the infamous coyote tick??

[Carloss125]

Been having this tick since my last oil change car runs fine no drops in pressure nothing but makes this incredibly loud ticking noise that I just can’t get to the bottom of any help or ideas what it could be would be appreciated.

It doesn't sound like it. The coyote tick generally doesn't have a rhythm. It's more random.

Yours follows engine rpm which is rarely benign

Have you confirmed the oil level on the dipstick?

Sounds like knock to me...

Yeah, sounds concerning... What year out of curiosity?

No, the tick sounds more like a typewriter (short little ticking sound) and as others said isn’t really constant or rhythmic. Mine ticks a bit, mostly after an oil change and even lightly tapping the gas pedal it goes away and doesn’t follow the RPM. So you have something else going on

looks like you are parked inside next to a wall, that s gone magnify everything. These are not super quiet engines to begin with, lots going on inside.

THAT part!

I agree. The BBQ tick is more random. That is definitely rhythmic. I would guess if its coming from the passenger side it is the DI pump (if Gen 3 motor 18-23 model), maybe echoing off the wall.

Year, milage, modifications are all things that help people help.

Curious if the coyote is prone to having lifters collapse?
That's what my first thought was.
