I went in before I got my cams installed cause I thought my car was ticking...they told me they wouldn't check because I had an aftermarket intake. I asked what my intake had to do with my valves...but the service manger just shrugged and started ignoring me....I love dealerships.

who cares, doesn't bother me at all Ford would probably do something stupid and end up messing up my heads anyway. I'd rather leave everything alone and/or fix it myself if i have to.

I had it done 'cause mine was really noticable 
,and no issues,or hassels to get her done either.Plus i'm also good friends with the service manager/head mechanic,so i know i could trust him.

I wouldn't dick with the car if it has a lifter ticking. It won't really hurt anything. You might loose a little HP is all.

Both heads were replaced under the TSB/warranty with 2 brand new out of the box '04 pi heads from ford that are,so ford says,improved.They came fully assembled,cams,springs,ects,ready to drop in.Then the old heads,fully assembled go back to ford.Only my passenger side had the tick issue,but he wanted to replace them both,but if i rmember correctly,it calls to have both done anyways.
I've been chasing a ticking noise for awhile. Thought it was exhaust but I've been over and over the exhaust. My tick is louder under load, like 5th gear accel from 3k or lower when you floor it and goes away under normal idle or cruising or upper RPMs. I know it sounds exhaust but I can't find it and it's passenger side only.
Is that anything like your ticking noise. Thanks mang.

The only way to properly hear the tick is from the front passenger wheel opening.You can hear it clearly threw there. And it's nothing exhaust related.
