I have A 98 GT with 110,000 mi., and it started getting a clacking noise from the valves only at start-up. otherwise she runs great. the shop said that that is normal for high mileige cars. I am worried its doing damage if I dont fix it. Any info would help.
No the opposite, if the car sit for a while it wont do it.
I think it has something to do with the oil pump because its only on a cold start. But thats just a guess.

thats what i asked.. if you let the car sit overnight or for a extended time does it do it.. so i assume that if you shut it off warm then restart it's fine..
first try too use a MOTORCRAFT fitler.. then if that dont fix it look at the cam chain tensioners..
