Engine ticking sound.
Shot in the dark. Engine starting making a ticking sound. I am hold my phone near where the exhaust manifold meet the exhaust pipe. Any ideas....I am hoping exhaust leak. 2001 F150 supercrew 4x4 5.4 |
Your video is not working for me but yes these trucks have poor quality exhaust manifold bolts that rust and break off. Have a look to see if you are missing a bolt head or two and if you are that is most likely your problem.

|
There really is no video.. it is more the sound I wanted you to hear.
|

But, as said before... nothing, no video, no sound. When clicked on it says "this video is private" |

OK...try this clip....sorry.. |
Make sure you don't have a loose spark plug.
|
Glc, you nailed it...back passenger side was very loose.....thanks a bunch....did not even think about plugs.
|
Now you should retorque all your plugs to 28 ft/lb. Loosening and blowout is a common issue with these engines. When they blow out, they will take the threads in the head with them and you will need to install Timesert inserts.

28lbs. ....really....book was I inch/lbs...which I converted over and it came to like 12 lbs...if you 28 I believe you...you save me a lot of work.
|
Factory recommendation is 14 ft/lb, and that's the main reason for the blowouts.
