ticking in motor

I think you want to look through THE FORUMS to find a better place to ask this.

Not to say someone here couldn't answer your question, just that you would stand a better chance of getting an answer in a forum dealing with the 2000 model.


My first move would be to check coolant temperature. If the engines not getting up to heat blow by will condense giving the milky oil.

Ticking? Does the car have to be driven an hour before it starts? Does it tick the next day at start up? Even just once or twice?

In the Fords I'm use to when the lifters start ticking it's time to check oil pressure.
