I recently just had some problems coming from my 5.0 I have tried to figure out the problem myself but I cannot tear the engine apart to find the problem. Best place to ask is here.
My engine has just started making alot of noise from the heads area/near the back. Sounds like swoosh type sound on the driver side and a slap/tick noise on the passenger side. I guess what I am wondering is if it could be a bad valve or even a bad pushrod. It has just gotten worse everyday and now when I am around 4500 RPMs with my foot slightly into the throttle it likes to throw out a backfire. When I let of the throttle and let it coast in gear it backfires even more. The oil lvl is fine and I have good oil pressure. The coolant light is fading in and out while I drive, and does not stay on constant or stay off.
I will try to get a sound clip of the noise.
