bad lifter probably.
very common on the 5.0's
not that serious of a problem though.

the ticking usually starts around the left rear of the motor..

happend around 100k miles
ford...chevy no better.
thats american enginnering for you.
not saying i could do better but i don't cut corners [Wink]

yup. its on the left side. oh well, i wanted to do a head/cam/intake swap anyways. and the heads have over 100k, but the short block has 60k [Eek!]

I had that ticking noise on the same side in my car and it turned out to a blown headER gasket. Put new ones on and it is no more

I have that exact same problem in my 88 gt mustang. I can't stand it sometimes when I am at idle there will be a ticking from the motor. I guess it is time for new heads, cams, and an intake... Which I really can't afford right now. If I wait to long will it be more of a problem? Like lets say a month or so?
