You are exactly right. I hope something is published soon. And if the tick is not deterimental to the engine, then I hope there is an easy fix such as a dampner of some sort. This would be better instead of having the dealership pull the engine, and replace internal parts. It just does not make sense right now. Ford's SSM states this is normal and it varies from vehicle to vehicle, but the dealership and other internet sites stated that replacing #5 and #7 piston and connecting rod resolved the concern. Maybe it is harmless, but we just cannot live with the noise.
