I am new the site. So this is my first post. I have had a passion for Mustangs most of my life. I’ve had 3 fox bodies and now since February, I own a 2018 S550. I absolutely love it. After around 1200 miles I started noticing an unusual “ticking” noise only associated with cold starts. After she warmed up, it went away. As time went on, that same noise became more and more profound. It was inconsistent and louder. It also never went away. 15,000 mls later, she’s on a course of getting a new short block put in. They not only found metal in the pan, but scoring on the #3 cylinder wall.
Time will tell if the next block is worthy.
