5.0 sound
I know this my have been talked about. and it may sound like a dumb question but is it normal for the 5.0 to sound like a diesel at idle. I think its the overhead cams but I am not use to the sound. This is my first engine with overhead cams.

Could be piston slap. It seems to be a common occurrence with the Coyote. Are your oil levels ok? Does it always make the noise or just cold/cool for a shortish period?

I've heard that the new direct injection engines make a diesel-like tapping/clicking noise at idle, especially when it's cold outside.
The reason is because DI engines use high-pressure fuel injectors, and different fuel pumps, so they make these noises.

The 5.0 is not a direct injection motor. Only the ecoboost. Diesel noise is not normal.
