I know I've seen this TSB in here before. I took my 2000 GT into the Ford Dealership today and asked about the ticking sound coming from inside my engine and they said it was normal. I'm no mechanic, but I know BS when I hear it. If anyone in here has the TSB number for this defect please post it on this thread.
Thanks in advance
