Question Not another head tick thread...

yea i knw these are always posted and its usually b/c ppl are too lazy to search but i searched to try to make sure but i could only find threads for 2003 Svt's. and i saw an episode of horsepower tv and they said any Svt Cobra 4 valve built before nov. 1 2002 can have a head tick issue and should be taken to ford for a recall, so i was wondering if that applies to my 1997 Cobra? sometimes it has the head tick on the drivers side like they say, but other times it doesnt. i always let it run for 5 mins or so when i start it up for the first time of the day. sorry u guys hate these threads but if ur guna be a dick then dont make a post. thanks

hmm honestly not sure about pre 2003s... I know the motors were different in the mach 1 and Cobra in 2003/2004 then in past years... but I would assume that the same crappy head design was used... might want to ask around svtperf if nobody really knows here... they know a lot of that stuff...
