Valve train noise

[Tx State]

Hey everyone, I know the valve train on the 6.2s is supposed to be loud and considered normal but I saw an interesting video yesterday. It was a video if a 2018 mustang gt and he was complaining about the engine ticking as well. I know its a different motor than ours but he fixed the ticking with high zinc motor oil. Is this a viable option for us 6.2 guys? Thoughts?

Zinc shouldn't be needed in a modern motor... It is needed in older motors or the cam can go flat and wreak havoc. The 5.0 tick is supposed to be from the direct injection.

That makes sense

a majority of the valve train tick on the 6.2 is injector noise. However, if you beat on your truck even modestly, you can collapse a hydraulic rocker arm. Did that earlier this year, word of advise, let your oil warm up before you give her the nuts!
