    2012 Knock/Chirp on cold start

    @Canuck714 I haven't had the issue at all for at least the past two months. Not sure if it is the vct camp phasers or what. I watched a video and they actually have a little filter in them that maybe has some debris in it causing insufficient flow until the oil gets warm and flows better? It...

    6.2 cam phasers

    I put a video of mine with a knock/chirp at idle. I never found a smoking gun but I definitely thought it was a rod knock at first. The one thing I did was switched to Amsoil 5-30 from Mobil 1 which I ran for 85k miles with no issues. This could have also coincided with the weather getting...

    6.2 Blue Valve/Cam Covers

    As for cable ties I thought about trying these for the wire ties https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/cable-ties/black-cable-ties-10-pack-16-inch-long-stud-mount/3480/1730/

    6.2 Blue Valve/Cam Covers

    I ordered them from Autonation Ford White Bear Lake. BC3Z-6582-G was back ordered for about a month but I think the pair was about 230 with shipping and everything. A little more more than buying some on eBay but these are brand new with new gaskets and bolts. I had a hard time finding decent...

    6.2 cam phasers & performance cams

    Are these 6.2 engines from Raptors? Are the cam specs you posted from these two engines? Reason I ask is because the pic of the shaft/rocker assembly picture you posted doesn't have the match marking that i saw inside my 2012 raptor.

    6.2 Blue Valve/Cam Covers

    Finally got my metal 6.2 valve covers from backorder and got the VHT wrinkle blue paint on. Pretty happy with the results but there are areas that didn't wrinkle up even after applying additional coats. As long as they don't start peeling I will be happy with these. Now to find some stud mount...

    2012 Knock/Chirp on cold start

    Sorry I don't have any updates on this guys. Seems like switching from Mobil 1 5-20w to Amsoil 5-30w has made this issue less frequent but every now and then I still hear it. I think its something that's been there but was amplified by the longtube headers.

    2012 Knock/Chirp on cold start

    Also worth noting that if you wanted to know if your engine was a raptor 6.2 or other 6.2, all the engine components have markings from the factory where they where torqued and then a match mark put on them. Pretty cool.

    2012 Knock/Chirp on cold start

    So I pulled both intake and exhaust rocker shafts and inspected the hydraulic lash adjusters. The video above is what I found. The intake and exhaust side had 2 of the four adjusters that I could compress by hand and 2 I couldn't. I bought a new OEM exhaust shaft rocker at a deal so I would know...

    6.2 Blue Valve/Cam Covers

    I gotcha. I guess I will have to find a local powder coater and see if they can do the textured ford blue. Trying to get the same look as my whippled 03 Cobra.

    2012 Knock/Chirp on cold start

    After getting my Kooks installed I started the truck up one morning to go to work and noticed an odd sound from the driver's fender well. Sounded like some sort of knock but then it sounds like a bad pulley bearing and then it goes away. It only comes on a cold start and sometimes it last 5...

    6.2 Blue Valve/Cam Covers

    Are these valve covers painted with the VHT wrinkle paint? I just ordered a set of aluminum ones to replace my stock plastic ones on my 2012. I really like the blue with the "Powered By Ford" unpainted. Ordered part numbers BC3Z-6582-G and BC3Z-6582-H from Autonation Ford for $230 shipped...

    I just need one stock tire in decent shape to last me until the KO2 comes in a 35x12.50x17. Let me know if anyone has something that will work. Thanks, Brandon

    E85 Tune

    Sorry to bump an old thread but I was wondering if anyone had ran E85 with the stock fuel setup just retuned? I am currently upgrading my 03 Cobra to bigger pumps/injectors to run E85 with my KB @ 21.5psi. The benefits of E85 are that you can put more timing in and boost if you are...

    2012 Raptor w/ Magnaflow and My 03 Cobra vids

    I made a few videos of my Cobra and Raptor and finally got them on Youtube. One is the Cobra with a standard Steeda catback with Borla tailpipes and 4" Tips and Pypes off road x. The other is a Steeda side exhaust and Pypes off road X that doesn't actually fit IRS but I made some temporary...

    2012 6.2L Magnaflow or Roush exhaust?

    If you still have the resonator with the magnaflow, you should delete that and see if it sounds better. I am doing this sometime on my Screw just for more volume. I think the magnaflow has a better tone than the roush.

    Side mirror turn signals?

    They are just black pieces in there, no reflectors. They just looked like reflectors from inside the truck. Oh well.
