Summit Racing offers the tool for 30 bucks, its a trick flow brand tool
-
mine is doing the same thing, and im assuming its the lash adjusters... were they hard to replace, and which brand of parts did you use
-
@russ98stang it was my timing chain. the chain wore throught the guide and into the tensioner on both sides
-
Mine ticks as well, and still does it when I accelerate...it's pissing me off.

So did you figure this out? My 99 gt makes this exact same noise. I was going to pull the valve cover this weekend and check out the lash adjusters, but you said you already did that and it didn't help. Well crap

Did you ever figure out what it was?

Did you ever figure out what it was? I have the same noise and was told to look at the springs, valve and adjusters.
One of my lifters was found to be sticking. The plunger eventually stuck down and allowed the rocker to pop off and lay under the valve cover. Replaced the lifter-plunger and no more noise. Very easy replacement.

@Skeeterparts Replaced all of the valve lash adjusters, I guess thats what your referring to as the lifter.

It is the SOHC, not push rods or lifters. Just the valve lash adjusters and cam followers. I changed all of the valve lash adjusters, but the noise continued.

my 2000 gt makes the same damn noise. it makes the noise at idle but then the second i give it a little rev it goes away for about 15 seconds then it comes back. im almost 100 percent shur its the valve lash adjusters

I thought the same damn thing, but after I changed them all out, the noise continued. Those things are super aggravating to change out, esp the ones towards the back. Its almost worth spending the $100 bucks on fords "special" tool. I'm not saying it isn't the adjusters in yours though.
