Any typewriter tick with gen 4 Coyote engine?

[Raebanks]

I know the cars are still brand new and most haven’t done their first oil change yet. Has anyone experienced the infamous typewriter tick with the gen4s?

Yes. There's a couple vids kicking around here. Sounds the exact same as previous gens.

Its a coyote, sounds like a coyote and performs like a coyote.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...
Four generations of the engine and they are going strong. Yes, it sounds bad; nobody likes it but obviously it is a fantastic engine.

Learn to love the tick. EMBRACE the tick. Then hit the throttle and the tick turns into a roar.

I have 1,700 miles on my GT with an oil change done at 1,200 miles. No tick.

i hope this doesn't start another generation of complaining about the coyote tick. here is what Ford themselves said about the noise for 2011-2023 F150s and Mustangs with the coyote.

Some 2011-2023 Mustang and F-150 vehicles equipped with a 5.0L engine may exhibit a tick tap and/or typewriter ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as typewriter noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. The noise in question may be heard on some engines when engine temperatures reach 150°F (65°C) or higher and engine speed is at idle up to approximately 1700 RPMs. It can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. The typewriter noise tick rate can be faster or slower and is not detrimental to the engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. This an operating characteristic of the 5.0L engine and no repairs should be attempted.

wish these complaints would go the way of the Mustang's competition

I don't hear the tick (yet?), nor on my s550, but thanks for sharing this!

Yeah I hope so too….. just wanted to confirm that it’s a continuous characteristic of the motor that’s all.

Kinda in the same vein as Poe tay toe…. Poe tay toe…… Poe tay toe poe tay toe … poe tay toe poe tay toe poe tay toe …….

Btw: it ain’t a typewriter. It’s more like an adding machine calculating all the times, inch-for-inch, she’s kicked arse….

I'm hearing lots of accounts of BBQ ticking. But Ford assures you, it's a "normal" operating characteristic.

because it doesn’t affect performance or cause any longevity issues

People with scoring in cylinders and/or replacing engine blocks may disagree.

 

[slowjim]

mine has it right around 1800-1900rpm

And again that has nothing to do with this. Because people with it report no ill effects.
