    Gentleman, I'm just a seasoned Ford technician chiming in with what I've experience & encountered. Back in 2011 when the Coyote engine was first realeased, I had at least one Mustang/F150 a week come in with this concern. After tearing down every engine I always found that the crankshaft to main bearing clearances would vary significantly journal to journal abnormally. When discussing with my local FSE & online engineers, I was told that the company responsible for manufacturing the main bearing was having material issues which affected the thermal expansion rates. They had assured me that the driveability would not be affected, so long there is no excess of metal in the oil. I continue to receive vehicles to this day, & my repairs vary from replacing crankshafts/bearings to entire engines, depending on how the engine was treated. In my opinion, drive, enjoy your car, & inspect your oil when servicing, then address as needed.

Totally agreed, social media is damaging the mustang's reputation from people that don't know about the cars and for people that haven't owned one before, but want one so bad, like me, that's where those bad videos come to place on doubting to make a purchase decision, which it did for me. Looking to get a 19 GT, saw Zanders video as well when he posted it and after yours it makes me feel better on getting one after hearing it from people that actually know and have owned a lot of mustang's.

    I have a 2018, PP1, build date in Nov, 2017. It has had a small ticking sounds, but it's obviously the direct injection. Sounds just like my 16' WRX that had a DIT motor. I'm current at 11,5XX miles. a couple thousand of which have been hard driving on rural roads and a little autocross. I broke it in, per the manual and have the oil changed every 3K miles at the dealer. The only gripe I have is a rattle has developed to the left of the steering wheel and I don't know what it is! But, I digress. Still love the car... it's a great time to be alive for a car enthusiast!

    I know that it has been 6 months since your post. Just wondering if you still have your mustang and how it’s performing with the engine tick. First mustang I have owned was a black 2015 GT auto as seen on my channel. Before I was able to post any other mods other than the exhaust the mustang blew up at 800 miles sitting in my driveway after remote starting it. I went through hell with the dealer where I purchased from. They eventually offered to sell me another Mustang after buying back the 2015 after many many conversations with the (GM). The replacement was a 2016 Mustang GT PP1 that I mildly modded, exhaust, intake graphics etc. That car was amazing with no issues at all, of course I was dumb and sold it locally. I now own a 2019 Mustang GT PP1 Manual. The car had developed the engine tick after driving it home of course. I’ve noticed when cold starting the vehicle and letting it idle down after 5 mins the tick is apparent. Driving the car not to exceed 4,000 rpm’s for approximately 10 mins, the tick dulled slightly to where you couldn’t tell by just walking around the car. My oil was changed at 1,000 miles after the “recommended break-in” using 5w-30 Mobile 1 synthetic and Motor craft oil filter. The tick is still apparent at 1200 miles. I just wanna enjoy my car without having to deal with Ford “Again” in that matter. Looks to be in Inevitable at this point. Any updates would be gladly appreciated, Thanx.

    My 2014 coyote swapped fox started having a slight tick at idle. It eventually started having a random knock and tick sound(video on my channel) when it was cold but right when it hit 203cht it went away completely. I pulled the pan and checked all the rod bearings but everything looked perfect. I pulled the timing cover and there was no slack in the chain or weak tensioners. So I pulled the chains and when I grabbed the crank sprocket it had a little wobble on the crank, after removing I noticed the keyway was rounded off. I replaced the sprocket and keyway reassembled everything and so far after about 1000 miles everything is quiet.

    Bill, I can't say thank you enough for being brave enough to tackle this issue. I've tried to get several you tuber who have a substantial following to try and get answers for us laymen who love these cars. Like you said, a lot of people don't even own a 2018 Mustang and are just commenting on the issue, causing a more confusing frenzy. Then, when you watch these guys who are having the "actual" tick," the buy back horror", and dealerships who don't want to warranty a car....... to be honest it left a lump in throat. I waited three years to get my 2018 because I simply couldn't decide on a color. But when I saw the lighting blue version.....I was sold. I ordered it from Ford and have been receiving numerous compliments everywhere I go. When these issues started to surface, I ran across one you tuber who said that he was going to drive his 2018 and enjoy it. If it broke in any way, he would take it to Ford and Deal with it then. Right then, I got an epiphany. That was the best advise I could have got. I also decided to continue to drive it like a luxury car instead of spirited driving. I planned not going above 70 well after the break in miles, not flooring it and when I change the oil, I would ensure she gets the proper 10qts. I plan to wait until the car says its time to change. I have seen that people with 2018's changed their oil at 500 or 1000 miles! Why is that? Am I doing something wrong?? I have the Ford app and it says that my oil is at 50% of life before I need to change it. Also , I haven't modified it yet to see what transpires, if anything. The only modifications I want to do is, a cold air intake, headers, and a tune. Once again thank you for putting me at ease. I don't own a money tree, but $50 grand is still $50 grand. And by the way, My car don't have the tick. Owners say that it will happen after the first oil change.

I got a new shortblock under warranty in May. 4 oil changes later the tick came back but louder, this time I have longtubes and OPG/timing sprocket. I am trying to have the longblock replaced this time, a couple weeks ago Ford Hotline advised to get my cam phasers replaced, sound is still there and rather loud and happening every day every drive. Stay tuned. I have a procharger in the garage ready to go after I am confident I can push the power.

    War Gamer - I know that it has been 10 months since your post. Just wondering if you still have your mustang and how it’s performing with the engine tick. First mustang I have owned was a black 2015 GT auto as seen on my channel. Before I was able to post any other mods other than the exhaust the mustang blew up at 800 miles sitting in my driveway after remote starting it. I went through hell with the dealer where I purchased from. They eventually offered to sell me another Mustang after buying back the 2015 after many many conversations with the (GM). The replacement was a 2016 Mustang GT PP1 that I mildly modded, exhaust, intake graphics etc. That car was amazing with no issues at all, of course I was dumb and sold it locally. I now own a 2019 Mustang GT PP1 Manual. The car had developed the engine tick after driving it home of course. I’ve noticed when cold starting the vehicle and letting it idle down after 5 mins the tick is apparent. Driving the car not to exceed 4,000 rpm’s for approximately 10 mins, the tick dulled slightly to where you couldn’t tell by just walking around the car. My oil was changed at 1,000 miles after the “recommended break-in” using 5w-30 Mobile 1 synthetic and Motor craft oil filter. The tick is still apparent at 1200 miles. I just wanna enjoy my car without having to deal with Ford “Again” in that matter. Looks to be in Inevitable at this point. Any updates would be gladly appreciated, Thanx.

    I had it on my 11 and 12. When Ford would use their oil, tick was gone. They ended up doing quite a bit of work to both of them and after I did an oil change and used Royal Purple the tick came back. So I would say oil has a lot to do with it. I now have an 18 Shelby and so far no tick. My tick only occurred when the oil was clean and up to temp. Once I had 3000 on the oil it wouldn’t do it. The hotter it was outside or the harder I pushed the motor it would tick worse.

Someone else below me made a comment about the engine oil that they use, I like him, use the Joe Gibbs racing 5w50 that has additives already in it to avoid any kind of friction. I’ve had no issues with the tick and my car runs awesome. This issue is way blown out of proportion. Just like every manufacturer, there are bad apples out of the batch. It happens. For the most part most cars are good to go with no issues. Let’s just all enjoy our cars because they are amazing machines. For all of you that have a warranty, if something happens take it in and ford will take care of it. I could care less about a warranty and if something happens I’ll build this motor and make it even better.

    My 2019 Mustang Bullitt has the tick from time to time. I do have to keep a close eye on the oil level in the engine. The tick seems to be worse when the oil level gets down one quart. I'm still using the Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W-20. I plan on changing to Motorcraft full synthetic 5W-30 at the 10,000 oil change. Funny thing about oil additives like Ceratech and BG44K. Ford specifically says in the owner's manual don't use them because they aren't necessary, and could void the warranty if you do. My local Ford dealer offers BG44K as part of an oil change service package.

    Even if the tick isn't bothering anything, it's annoying. Especially so if it occurs/heard while driving as well as some manual owners have reported at low RPMs. My '15 GT Whipple never had a tick that I ever noticed. But the 18s/19s seem to be quite common. Bottom line: if you're getting a new GT, you are quite frankly shelling out a good chunk of change to roll the dice that you won't have an annoying issue. And yes, you are rolling the dice.

    I was wondering if Bill would ever make a video talking about this. My tick started around 800 miles with factory oil. I switched to M1 EP 5w20 at 1,000mi, and it got worse. It started subsiding over time as carbon built up in the oil. At 3,400mi, I switched again to Pennzoil UP 5w30, and the tick was even more noticeable, even though he oil is better than M1. Found no metal (maybe 5-6 tiny flea sized flakes) after straining all 10qts of oil, and inspecting the filter. So, I added 1/2 bottle of Ceratec, which got rid of 90% of the tick. I also had a rattle at 1,200rpm on up, so I installed an A/C belt tensioner, which eliminated that rattling noise up front. May have been the compressor making noise from using a stretchy belt. Since some minor remnants of the tick still remained, I added another 1/2 bottle of Ceratec at 5,000mi, and now the tick and all rattling is completely gone. My recommendation for this car, is just add 1/2 bottle of Ceratec if you don't have a tick and add 1 bottle of Ceratec if you do have a tick after about 200 miles of ownership and the rings are seated. 1 full bottle of Ceratec is really enough. Adding 2 whole bottles for 10qts of oil really isn't necessary, even if you already have the tick.

After having the long block put in when I picked up from the dealership it was as quiet as a church mouse. After a hundred miles of driving I could faintly hear the tick. After 650 miles the tick has gotten louder but not as loud as it was when I first got the engine replaced. For the love of God Ford needs to come up with an answer fix these because you can't fix it if you're going to put the same broken parts in it.!!!

    I own a 17 gt had several oil changes... no metal... I’ve heard the tick but thanks to the reassurance I’m not gonna worry about it. I’ll maybe add the additive to hopefully rid the problem

    I special ordered my 2018 GT automatic Mustang and arrived with 3 miles. It started making a noise that resembles a wood pecker when on idle at around 3,000 miles. It now has 8,000 miles and the sound has completely disappeared.

    Thank you for answering my question. I have a tick in my 2018 Mustang GT that isn't concerning but is distracting. Sounds to me like it's the direct injection system. My car is very low milage, but may have been abused by the previous owner. Has just over 40K on the odometer. Not hoping to swap it out for anything else. I appreciate your information. Have a great day!

    It's making me want to keep my V6. I am considering a 2018 GT but I went through the driveline vibration that was never totally fixed and I rather keep my V6 then spend MUCH more to go through a new problem.

    Same here I'm somewhat regretting changing my mind I just bought a Veloster n performance pack which I'm very happy with but bottom line I was always a mustang guy and it's never going to be a Mustang I do however want to get into tracking the car so the Veloster and no doubt is the better track car than a Mustang GT so I'm not unhappy with my purchase I love the Veloster but it sucks that that typewriter tick and the shift Fork problem kept me from buying a brand new 18 19 gt

    Not to mention insurance rates played a part in my decision also the Mustang GT would have been a little more expensive in monthly payments of course if I wanted to go fully loaded with the performance pack one Digital dash Ford Sync premium 401a package but I still would have been happy with the base GT at least with a performance pack only and a ford synk

    My 2018 GTpp started the typewriter tick 2 days after my 2nd oil change at the dealer with 5465 miles on the OD. First LOF at 553 break in miles. Hot oil pressure dropped from 20 / 21 down to 16 to 19 psi. Not only can I hear this tick but an intermittent low knocking sound is apparent as well right along with the tick. The two different sounds do not appear to be associated. I can hear the knock through the firewall with the windows closed. I am going to drop off the car at the local dealer this coming week. FoMoCo's TSB 7718 dismisses the sound as "normal". Imo that is a BS cover your butt answer. As a machine shop owner and performance engine builder some questions come to mind. If the sound is normal what is causing it? If you can not answer the former how do you know it is harmless? If this (normal) is the case why don't ALL Gen 3 Coyote engines make the sound. Why the appearance in some cases after a dealer LOF? Why do additives and friction modifiers offer a temporary fix? At 553 miles I discussed the slapping sound these engines make at about 1500 to 2500 rpm with my local service manager. We went out and started several other Gt's and all made that sound. Reminds me of the Corvette piston slap drama back in the 90's. I understand and accept that DI engines are noisy. I can pick out and overlook the reasonably normal cacophony of sounds emanating from this engine. What I am hearing now is unacceptable in a $47K+ new car. SJ

    Another theory on the tick is a loose timing chain caused by s cheap tensioner. It goes away when warm because the tensioner has heated up and spinning better.

    My ‘18 burned an excessive amount of oil and had an occasional tick up to about 6k miles. Think it may have had something to do with ring flutter, but it was broken in per the manual. After about 6k, the oil burn stopped and there is no tick. 17k miles now and the car is running great!
