Does anyone know if the 01 v6 mustang has a valve lash adjuster? I'm having a ticking which sounds like either its coming from valve train or tranny mount. But I would like to check the valve lash.
How would the transmission mount tick? I'd suspect if its coming from the passenger side you have an exhaust leak.
The tranny mount I have is gone, sitting metal to metal, so someone said it could be the tranny mount constantly hitting with the movement of engine at idle, but could exhaust leak sound like a "lifter ticking" noise?
Most people I have met cannot tell the difference. But get that mount replaced!!!
I'm getting the mount today for $25 new at my local shop, so I'll be doing that, and I'll do some digging and look for an exhaust leak 👍👍 thank you again, your damn smart.
