5.0L V8 Engine Issues
It occurred to me after reading another thread I had posted that I never really asked how many people were having similar issues with their 5.0L...
So, I'm curious...who has experienced the problems listed below:
1. Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement
2. CTA Issues
3. Ticking / Knocking --- Cause?
4. Cylinder Distortion
5. Oil Consumption
6. Other
7. None of the Above
8. All of the Above
9. Some combination of 1-6.
I had #3 -- lifter, #5 -- about 1 qt/1500 miles.
I've posted a poll to get some baseline statistics...feel free to post year, mileage, and any specifics. I think it would be interesting to see if some of these problems are overblown or if they are really as common as what some have said.

I have a ticking sound. Had it checked at the dealer. The said it is the new injectors ford is using. High pressure injection causes the ticking . Injectors firing . How knows, sometimes I think they tell you a load of junk just to keep from trying to find a real solution.

Are you trying to sample 2015's and up, or 2011 to present? I traded a 2013 that knocked, but haven't voted in the poll yet. I'm not sure if Ford did anything to address the knocking when they updated the engine in 2015...
