But faulty filter media that disengage, cardboard end cap pieces that fail, antiphon valves that leak and bypass unfiltered dirty oil through the filter.
They have also been linked to low oil pressure issues.

99snake1 said:took the car to the dealer today. the older machanic that always does all there mustang work and who owns 3, Well he said that it sounded like a rod bearing. as soon as i opened the hood he right away began to unplug injectors one bye one and listen to the engine. the #1 cylinder sounded different when the injector was unpluged compared to when he unpluged each other cylinder one bye one the same way. (he listened that when he unpluged each one from 1 through 8 that the engine sounded the same each time but the #1 cylinder, it knocked twice as hard). I have never seen anyone do this but i was told he was the man and seems to know alot. so it was left there till friday and we drove his other 01 GT home.
99snake1 said:well the probem was found with the car today. I was not there when the tech explained it but said it was the "cam phaser" or faser, he said it has something to do with the timing must be a senser I guess I never heard of it. it will be fixed on wednesday so if any of you guys have a weird knocking sound that could be the problem he said about a 2 hour job to fix it under warrenty.
The extra intake valve in the three-valve head, the variable cam timing and the CMCV all work together seamlessly as the engine accelerates. At the low end of the power band, the CMCV creates turbulence by inserting itself in the air path just after the fuel injector. The partial obstruction causes a tumbling action in the runner that asserts itself as a more combustible, quicker-burning mixture. While the CMCV decreases its intervention as engine rpm climbs, the valve timing increases for both intake valves and the exhaust valve.
thank god he took it to the dealership in time. People saying its bad gas and pinging was going to make this guy throw a rod.Power Surge said:That kind of test is usually done to see if the knock is a wrist pin. It definitely sounds like it's in the lower end, and it also sounds like you found a dealer with a good tech.
As for the "pinging" posts, maybe I can clarify...
"Engine knock" is a problem with the lower end, being bearing or component related.
"Spark knock" is another term for pinging, or detonation, and is basically when the combustion of the cylinder takes place at the wrong time.
