6.2 intermittent valve train ticking noise at start up ??????????????

[Fred]

X3...yes normal an more pronounced on remote start....need a louder exhaust and possible headers to drown out the clatter....lol

I was going to say I don't hear it but I do have the Full SW or it's the e-30 keeps it smooth

 

[Fred]

Yup...the alcohol tends to drown out the noise...in many ways ....

I have the same noise.. One of closest buddies who's a mechanic, says its nothing to worry about it!

Hi Guys,

When I start my truck, I get some pretty obvious valve noise that tapers off over the first ~3 seconds of running. Then right around the 5 second mark (usually) a loud-ish click/thud of something engaging.

I'm running Mobile 1 5/20 full synthetic, is anyone else having this?

Thanks!

Tick is valve train noise... probably phasers when you have low or no oil pressure on engine start. The loud clunk you get is you a/c compressor engaging the first time.

Quick one here... I have a brand new 2014 Ford Raptor - noticed the second week I had it - only 150 miles on it --that when I started the truck and was outside the cab, a loud clicking/ grinding noise happened about 5 seconds after starting my truck? Only happens in the morning -- After I drive it and turn it off, if I restart it the same day it doesn't do this. But the next morning the same thing. I took it to the dealer. They are telling me this is normal and all Raptor trucks do this? Please -- all Raptor owners, is this true? if not, what do I do? Ask for extended warranty? if so how long?

Its the valve train its normal, takes some time for oil to get pushed back to the top of the block after its sat for a while. Even more so when the oil is cold.

Use a e-30 blend of ethanol gas

Thanks for the recommendation I will give it a try! At least I know its not something bad. I will also advise the dealer since they didn't know what it was.

Wilson was just joking about the ethanol.

Anyway, your valve noise is normal.
