 Description of the problemWhile at idle my engine started to tick,so i took it to the mechanic and he told me i had a bad lash adjuster,and it was very common for this to happen with the 5,4l 3valve engine,so i went online to see if i could find any info about my issue and it seams that thousand of people are having the same issue,and how ford will not recall the motors for repair of a major defect to that type of engine,the mechanic told me to drive it until it dies,because the cost will be the same to repair or replace the engine,powertrain. Com sells the upgraded engine which corrects the three major issues with this engine,which are,lash adjusters,cam phasers,and the spark plug treads stripping out of the heads,why has ford been able to hide this for so long.
