Hi everyone,
It is my first post here, please be gentle:
A month a go my car had developed a ticking noise followed by engine light-on with a subtle shake, at first the Ford dealer diagnosed it with bad fuel injectors so all 6 were replaced. A day later I collected the car and the issue was still there, they had a second look and confirmed I had at least one scored or broken piston. their pricing was beyond my budged. Took it to a decent mechanic where they replaced the entire engine and transferred the remaining bits over, compressor manifolds, intake, wiring etc They placed (fully synthetic 5w-30 with STP oil filter). 6 days later collected the car and everything was fine until an oil change (Motorcraft 5w20 and Motorcraft oil-filter) then it developed a constant ticking noise. I was advised the oil was too thin then I replaced it to (fully synthetic 5W-40). Now two weeks on the car drives normal but the ticking noise wont disrepair. the sound comes from the front passenger side of the engine it stays on from cold and after a long drive when it has warmed up. Any help would be massively appreciated.
