Default Anyone ever have a knocking/ticking lash adjuster...

I gotta slight knock coming from the valvetrain. I have tried numerous things and it now comes down to the lash adjusters. I was told by ford that the comp cams can cause this problem. Cause also at times it gets worse at high rpms and drops a cylinder. Like it colapsed and would slowly com back. They said to use the 05 GT 3 valve lash adjusters and it will solve the problem. They are improved and will fit the 2 valvemotor. What do you guys think or have ever had this problem? Oh, I do have heaviervalve springs already FYI....

You've got a bad lifter for sure. I think you should take fords advice and go with the three valve lifters. I've got the VT stage 2 blower cams in my 2v and haven't had any problems yet but I've only had my car running for two weeks now.

Yeah thats what I thought. I did change 6 of them were the ticking came from but still did it. The ford boys say it is just the cam and that the 3V will solve it. Hopefully it does when I go to replace them all
