No tapping before you took it in for service?
Did they tell you what failed in the engine or the specific problem? 12k seems pretty low to have engine trouble.
I wouldn't be surprised at a dealer replacing just a shortblock as long as there's no valve damage. However, they need to make sure there is no loose metal contamination going back together.

Or if the Mods are all Ford supported you should have made a deal to roll the work into the cost of the car and have them do it all since you're financing the car anyway.
Just Saying

I took my car for an oil change at the Ford Dealership Monday the 16th of June. They put in 5W20 synthetic blend. It was bought new 18 months ago and has 12K miles on it. I drove it off the lot and I heard an intermittent metal tapping sound ( coming underneath the hood). It comes and goes every 5-10 seconds and sometimes it will tap once or more in random intervals. So I immediately took it back to them.
The first thing they tried was replacing the A/C compressor and that didnt fix it. So they have been waiting for Ford help line to make the next decision over the phone and as of this morning they said Ford called them and they are shipping a new short block from Detroit and will replace my short block and that will put me at 2 and a 1/2 weeks until it MIGHT be fixed. They stated that there have been issues before with these and this should fix the problem as it should be upgraded. I called Ford motor CO and explained that this is a new car and I wanted the entire engine replaced. Is that asking too much? Any thoughts, opinions and past/similar expierences welcomed.

You are using this forum wrong, your post is unrelated and would get more relevant replies if you started a new thread for it instead of taking someone elses that deals with mods...

Stang2013.... Are you a little "slow"??? Like Forest Gump kinda not all with it up in the area between the ears and just above the neck?
Don't you have this topic going in another thread? The guys here were actually pretty kind and clear in what they said. It didn't come off as rude.
But.... you seem to have a chip on yer shoulder.... Perhaps yer frustrated over yer messed up ride???
