yes like the title says..i hear a TICKING noise coming from my motor.

this is what happened...

was drving home from the gym las night..around a corner i got on it in 1st hit 2nd let off in 2nd to slow down..all of a sudden i hear a "tick tick tick tick tick" hella loud...and gets LOUDER as the rpms rise...what the hell is this??? Rick said it could be a valve..

*** UPDATE ***

ticking is heard MOSTLY from under the car! can barely hear it when listening to motor but when listening under the car (laying under) it can be heard very well..and it does sound like it is coming from underneath the car

Could be a valve but I would check your plug wires 1st and make sure they are on tight.

Could be something as simple as an exhaust leak.
Could be something worse.
Do you have good oil pressure? These 4.6's go south fast with lack of oil, or even oil that is too thick (like 20w/50).

If you can't figure it out, you can bring it to the shop. We specialize in the 4.6. We'll be able to figure it out & fix it.

also it might be your lifter, i have a thicking noise on my car and it runs just fine i just added better oil (syntetic) and most of the thicking went away, a lot of 4.6 have the thicking noise, but since u said that there was no oil then i think u might have mess up a valve or even more.

Why pretent someone u are not, everyone else could see it.

No oil!?!

D'oh!

4.6's don't have cam bearings....it's a steel camshaft rotating in an aluminum head. If there's a lack of oil for any length of time.....the heads are most likely toast. The steel camshaft destroys the aluminum in the head....& it can not be repaired. Rod knock is also a likely possibility....Lash adjusters ticking as well. All of which will not get any better....it'll only get worse.

*spam* Luckily we build forged 4.6's for around the same price as what you can get a new one from Ford for. *spam*

Something is terribly wrong if you lost that many quarts of oil in one week! Are you saying you never noticed any oil dripping,..better yet SPEWING from the car anywhere at anytime??

I'd suggest having someone else find and fix the problem for you. No offence but 2005 sure isn't your year. I hope 2006 takes a turn for the better on you. [Eek!]
