I'm new to the V-8 Explorer scene, but i have a question for you 5.0 owners.
My 5.0 has a slight lifter tick noise upon acceleration. it's pretty quiet, but if you listen you can hear it. Plus under heavy acceleration you get a vibrating sound around 3,000 RPM. i test drove a 96 5.0 Explorer in the spring and it had the same lifter tick noise, except lot louder. My engine has 42,000 and the one I test drove had 78,000. Any info would be helpful.
