Please help..02 mustang GT

motoxkid142 · 06-03-2003, 08:41 AM

When ever we drive our 02 MUstang gt it will be a normal sound till we rev it at about 3000 rpm and up. It will start makin a fast clicking nise and we cant figure out the problem. It started when we realized that there was only a lil bit of iol left in it so we went to go and get the stuff to change the oil. Well wen we were at the stop ligh some one was bout to rear end us so we jammed on the gas and then somthing popped and then it always made that clickin sound. We have had a engine flush 3 times and that didint work. We looked at it inside a lil bit. (i didnt want to take it apart past a certain point b cuz i wouldnt b able to put it together) Please help.

you probably ruined an lifter they are hydrolic aka oil filled and if it was dry may have seized the only way to check is take the valve covers off

as far I as I thought the sohc motors dont have lifters(or any mod motor for that matter)

if it was that low on oil you could have spun a rod bearing

but anyway its a 02 it should still be under warrenty so just take it to ford and let them deal with it (just dont tell them about the low on oil part)

soory i ment to say slack adjuster it kinda like a lifter the roller fingers use then to take up slack

I spun a bearing in my 01 gt without running low on oil,they replaced my engine for free,I just hope the same thing doesn't happen with this one after waranty runs out.
