Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
Are the ticking sounds loudest when cold, and get a little quieter as
it warms up, or not ? .

If you have had the spark plugs out lately, make sure they are tight.

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
Could be worn rocker arms or pedestals, allowing slack in the valve train. If the noise is loudest at cold start and diminishes as the engine warms up, suspect cracked or worn pistons (the aluminum pistons expand as they warm up and quiet down).

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
I don't know if it's possible now, especially if these engines have direct injection, but the injector clicking used to be mistaked for lifter noise when EFI was around.

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
I'm very surprised a dealer these days is going to rebuild you're actual engine. I thought they just replaced it with one from an authorized rebuilder ? Even in the old days.

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
Now that I think about it, when he said they ordered a block, he must have meant a rebuilt short block.

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
A common problem my brother in law told me was the injector on the driver's side in the back. Carbon is also an issue there in that spot. This is on early 90s ford trucks with a 302(5.0).

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
The noise you hear is the valve train, resulting from low oil pressure. It would run a long time like that if necessary. There are lots of things to oil on an overhead cam system, and a convoluted passage to the end of the oil route. Thicker oil will not work, neither will additives. Welcome to the world of "improved" technology. This is not just a Ford problem, although GM covers it up better. Dodge suffers engine "problems" as well. Be thankful you got a warranty.
