For the last couple of months, I noticed that my ST V8 had an unusual "noise" or "rattle" when I would start it up. Initially, I thought it might be the engine chain guide which I've read, had problems. Today, while being under the truck to change my oil, I thought I'd inspect the undercarriage to make sure there were no leaks, loose parts, etc.
The following is what I found:
- rear header bolt COMPLETELY MISSING
- bolt bolt in front of rear header bolt looks to be loose
Now I realize what the strange "noise" is and why it slowly went again after the engine was warmed up. Time to head to the Ford dealership to purchase a new bolt.
Anyone here have similar issues?
