my 98 was making a ticking noise, but it wasnt the timing chain, it was the sparkplug, and one day it finally gave, later we found out the sparkplug blew out of the header, and we ended up spending 2K on the fix, we had to buy a new computer too

That problem should be a FORD recall if you ask me, with so many here in this forum with that problem you have to wonder how many out in the Stang world are dealing with this! Definatly a recall issue.

I just GOOGLED "BAD TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER 2000 MUSTANG" and came up with a chitload of complaints and some YOU TUBE vids of the problem.....what gives? I am wondering if FORD is aware of the problem and just ignoring it. Anyone think this can be dealt with through FORD? I just bought my Stang 2 weeks ago, 2004 GT and am now wondering if it was a mistake. I got rid of my Dodge due to many problems....wouldn't want to go out and buy a Toyota! LOLOL

yea many people get worried really easy. i fit in that category sometimes, constantly listening to the engine. i can almost hear a slight sound behind my alternator on my 02 with 42k, if i even think something is wrong is getting fixed under warranty

My car started doing that ticking noise. When I would come to decelerations.. it would tick like a clock.. changing gears occasionally.. it sounded like the timing chain slapping or something.
One night I was driving and I was changing into 3rd gear (not beating on it at all) and the ticking got SERIOUS then BOOM SCREECH SCREECH (nails on chalkboard) BOOM... I rolled off the road.. I started the engine: BAM BAM (screech SCREECHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!) Like fireworks.. then it died. It sat in the garage for 3 months. I started the car up. It started then KA CLUNK KA CLUNK KA CLUNK KA CLUNK KA CLUNK KA CLUNK KA CLUNK KA CLUNK repeatedly. Shut it off.. then I went ahead and stared in disbelief through my windshield for 6 1/2 hours, then went to bed. 2 Months later.. I started it up with an older mechanic I know nearby. Spun rod bearing.
I took the car to ford. They diagnosed a spun rod bearing and replaced the motor with a new $3,000 remanufactured motor. Labor = $1,600 and a new clutch.
