2013 f150 ticking under the hood

Hi Scotty, I have a 2013 f150 fx2 when I leave it parked for couple days and then I start it it makes that tick tick tick noise under the hood.

Could be just a valve tap when the oil drains down from sitting for days. I have the same thing in my 2002 Monte Carlo. Just taps for a few minutes and then goes away.


Thanks for the reply, my truck does it for like 3 seconds and does away


@boxingfan78
Probably top of the engine, valve related (top, dry, cold engine) I'm assuming hydraulic lifters. Whatever you do, DO NOT run Seafoam or anything like that in that engine 🤣 Don't try to flush anything out, just keep changing the oil and it should run for a long time.
