[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 1004134, member: 69241"] The ticking is most likely the cam phasers, an issue well-known to all Ford dealership service departments. Service Manager at a local dealership told me to my face a few months ago that the noise is normal to the 4.6L and 5.4L 3V engines and that Ford will not allow (read pay) him to fix them. You may log your concern at your local dealership to see if they've got a different opinion. A used oil analysis report will ease your mind about your engine's condition. See my article in the Project section or PM me for assistance with that. Chances are that your engine's in as groovy shape as mine is - it's just got that annoying rattle. [/QUOTE]
