Do you think I’ve voided my coverage? Lol.

Maybe, just a tad..Do you think I’ve voided my coverage? Lol.
Well, this ain't good for those of us that fall in the date range an have heavily modded the car. Sorry for the crappy screenshot. Randomly found this while watching a video about the newest cam phaser bulletin for the 3.5EB in the trucks.
With all these 2020 Mustang GT owners like myself, any of you have this "typewriter tick" that many 2018-2019 Mustang GT owners have?Maybe, just a tad..
I have a 2020 mustang gt, automatic, california special edition. If I have the windows down radio off, and I pay attention to the car at idle, I can sometimes hear it. It's not bad yet.With all these 2020 Mustang GT owners like myself, any of you have this "typewriter tick" that many 2018-2019 Mustang GT owners have?
I don't now but my first oil change is later this month...

I think the dealership uses 5W 20.I did my first oil change at 3000 miles on my 2020. I did it my self and used pens oil ultra platnum 5w30 with a ford performance oil filter. I have no wired ticks or noises i have just under 5000 miles on my car now.
I had a 2015 Mustang GT, 6M, 3k miles that was traded for my current 2020 Mustang GT. No issues at all with 2015 and like it so much the 2020 with improvements was an ez decision. Didn't know about this "tick" on 2018-19. Lots of opinions re tick but so far doesn't look like the 2020s are affected or at least as much. I'll be listening after first oil change coming up...I have a 2020 mustang gt, automatic, california special edition.

I also have the DI tick when the car is cold. Once the car warms-up though, the DI tick is hardly noticeable. BTW - I am at 7800 miles and the dealership does all the oil changes. From what I read on here from others, if the typewriter / bbq bothers you, put Ceratec in. People say the Ceratec helps. FYI - Check with your dealer to see if it is OK to put in.
Same story loved the 2015 5.0 6M and then move to 2020 GT. No tick after first oil change. Currently 6200 on clock. The 6spd and clutch in 2020 is a big improvement over the 2015...I had a 2015 Mustang GT, 6M, 3k miles that was traded for my current 2020 Mustang GT.

Terry,Realize this is a dead thread, but has anyone actually had this SSM completed on their car? If so what were the symptoms, and did this remedy them? I have a thread here:

Describes my symptoms, and I have the P0369 code so they've ordered me a cylinder head. Time will tell if this helps, but it seems to make sense as long as the defect is affecting exhaust cam timing and/or sensor reading. Anyone know what the effect of the bad casting might be?
Is this your daily driver? Are they giving you a loaner?Just an update on this, I FINALLY received word all the parts are in (only 4 weeks later). Car will be going in Monday August 15 for the replacement. They said they need 5 days, that seems excessive for cylinder head swap but ok. Once I have it back I’ll report the outcome.
It is, but I work from home and a loaner isn’t strictly necessary. If I really needed one I would fight for it but not a huge deal to me.Is this your daily driver? Are they giving you a loaner?
Damn, How do you find your engine build date? My Whipple was installed 3 months ago.After thinking it through, I'll be running 5w50 with the Whipple, I'd be surprised if 5w50 leaks past the megacap. Also hoping that by being day one of the date range that somehow I squeezed through. Either way, once the Whipple goes on I suppose I own the issue.
It’s on a sticker on your driver side valve cover.Damn, How do you find your engine build date? My Whipple was installed 3 months ago.
