Mustang GT Engine Ticking Sound

Ticking Sound in my Mustang GT (2V) engine

Oh God damn...

I think that the passenger's side timing chain is a bit loose, either due to the tensioner not working properly or the chain guide being worn down. Either way, it sucks.

Probably just the fuel injectors

@UKwildcatfan1985 Nope, it was definitely my timing chain slapping around because of a bad tensioner. Check out my other video.

Bad harmonic balancer?

@jessesan2003 Actually this is a good opportunity to update anyone interested...I FIXED IT. Check out my other video, but it was the passenger's side timing chain tensioner not working (just like I thought). I bought new tensioners and guides from Trick Flow, installed them, put the motor back in the car and JUST got it back on the road yesterday. I am glad to report that the problem has now been fixed!

Does yours make that after warm up? i replaced my lash adjusters but did not solve the problem. I have a 1997 f150 4.6 2v.

@chrissmithoc @gerg1988 @jizzo2009 @ccchitt87 I think I fixed the problem, check out my other video "Rattling Fix - 2V Mustang Timing Chain"

thanks for the upload, i was thinkin it the tensioner, hard to get a confirmation when u used every adjective in the human dictionary to try to search for it and nothing comes up

My car sounded like this too until I drove the shit into the lake and the sound was gone!

@Mr2002MustangGT so youre saying it took you 4 years, several "people" and probably some money, to figure out you had an exhaust leak and youre calling me the douchebag? This is all so weak, you shouldnt own a mustang. Youtube videos and videos in general lack the ability to send clear audio, especially in your hillbilly camera
