I have a 2006 Mustang GT with 380 miles, I have noticed a slight ticking noise that sounds like a lifter, the dealer has told me that it is the fuel injector's amplified through the exhaust manifold. Has anyone else experienced this noise?

 

Exhaust leak, check the simplest stuff 1st.

 

Take a long wooden dowel or screwdriver and put one end on each injector and the other end on your ear.If you hear one thats louder than the rest then thats the injector to watch.If you don't hear an injector making more noise than the rest,then it probably is a lifter.Go along each intake runner where it goes into the head and,with your homemade stethoscope,listen for lifter noise.You can also listen to various places on the valve covers to track down the noise.

 

i had a dodge avenger that a couple of injectors ticked form day one i put 75k on the car with no problems.

 

06 GT's have lifters?

 

lift up the hood, look in the engine bay, and see if someone threw a clock in there somewhere[8D]

 

AWWWW leave him alone.Lash adjusters then.Fancy name for lifters actually in the head.

I just wanted to make sure it was explained for those who don't know better
