hey y'all - I am not new to mustangs, this is my third, but my first Cobra, it runs excellently, but listening to it running in the arage, and such, it idling, sounds like a diesel, just a faint clatter type sound....
first of all, is this normal for 4V engines???? I've never had one? maybe with so many valves and such they just tick????
then,. during driving, it sounds and runs good, until 3,800rpm, right at 3,800 and through 4,500 it clatters, the sound moving with the rpm of the engine... (this isnt a loud noise, doesnt sound like a rod or anything) but if the radio is off, and the top's up you can hear it....
I really wanna know if this is normal!?
