Click here to watch Engine-Tick--
Had this weird very quiet low pitched tick the year now I've owned the car. It only does it when it's cold and totally goes away when it's warm.
Lately, I've been getting a tick once the car is WARM, opposite of before. It ONLY happens when I'm just BARELY on the gas, and above 2k rpm, like you see in the vid. If I give it anymore gas than JUST a little bit, the noise goes away.
Little background - had the engine out the beginning of May and replaced the rod bearings a piston (new rings and wrist pin on that piston) and replaced all the gaskets. I took the car to Ford a week ago and they say they "think" it "might be" a timing chain tensioner. Idiots.
It sounds a little more serious to me. It's not rod knock because it's not there all the time. Could this be valve train noise? It's just weird that it goes away as soon as I give it any more than a little bit of gas.
