Question I have a 1996 grand marquis no pi heads. I just came upon a 2005
grandmarquis wit the PI heads. Willl i be able to use the heads on my 1996
whats that whistling in front of the engine ,,i have that in my 99 MGM
Nice to see a competent young man who is obviously interested in his craft.
I just bought a Grand Marquis loaded, 1999, with 142,000 miles,
well-maintained. When should I start thinking about changing the timing
chains? Mike in Arizona
tks bro,,,your video found my problem,,,it was the same exact problem you
had,,,if i made a video,,it would of been identical,,ive been seeing alot
of videos with the same noise,,,but no conclusion,,,but your vid hit it on
the money,,,i have a 2003 for expedition with the same noise that started 2
weeks ago,,,watched your vid after searching youtube 4 a week or so,,,and
boom,,,i did what you did,,,and i had the same problem,,,cam tore up,,,no
oil to head,,, tks bro,,,your the greatest!!!!!!!!!
@civicboy123 I’ve heard that before. That the ticking sound is the fuel
injectors. You here it alot in the newer IS, GS and LS lexus models. I have
the same sound in my 03 Crown Victoria and was wondering if its normal?
@civicboy123 all the bearingz in the crank are all good,,,finished pulled
the 2 heads out yesterday evening!!!,,,both of the headz where shot beyond
disbelief ,,,i juss bought the expedition from miami to the virgin
islands,,,,well we got it out anyway,,it had tunzzz of sludge for dayz,,,i
gona need two headz and timing chain assembly,,and to be on the safe
side,,,,,# im on e-bay now!!!!!!!:)
@terrance212121 That ticking noise you hear is the fuel injections
pulsating letting fuel into the cylinders.
@weail Alternator.
Nice car I’m having the same issues if you see my videos, but much
fainter….. I hope I don’t have the same issue you did. I have the X and 3
dots on the timing cover indicating it was serviced and I hope they changed
the oil after they serviced it…… Sounds like your passenger side head
has some lifter noise? Nice car BTW! Panthers for the win!!!
Thats a ton of miles I could call it a bucket but since it works its not.
Hello civic, Can you check out my video? I have a ticking sound in my 2009
CVPI. It has about 79K thousand miles on it and it’s a former Texas Highway
Patrol car.
@rollinx101 Yea, this is normal. The ticking noise you hear is the
injectors pulsating, opening and closing releasing fuel into the each
cylinder. Nothing to worry about.
Listed to the video at 2:40 and you’ll see this motor has the same ticking
as you described you hear on your CVPI. The ticking noise you hear is the
injectors pulsating. Completely normal.
I have a 2002 Lincoln towncar and i have a ticking noise on the left saide
but it just started makeing that ticking noise can it be Bad injectors
ticking I keep my oil change every 3 mouth can some one tel me what cause
that noise please thanks
Sounds like your going to need to do timing chain guides and tensioners in
the future. You probably have a failing tensioner.
@mwojo403 Timing chain isn’t usually a maintance item. Once in a great
while you see a timing chain guide and tensioner fail on one of these
vehicles. If it runs smooth, and it isn’t giving you any trouble I wouldn’t
worry about it. 99 CVs and Grand Marquis didn’t have any trouble with the
timing chains. The only thing you have to watch out for on these vehicles
is the plastic intake manifolds are prone to crack on these vehicles.
That or a leaking exhaust manifold maybe broke bolt heard that somewhere.
at 2:40 whats that ticking sounds?maybe just backside of the
fans/belt??luckily my MGM has 85k and its 2000…awesome video,thank you
civic
@blackjuice007 Glad I could help you out. I hope the bottom end of your
motor isn’t trashed. This motor ran like a sweetheart after I was done with
it. I sold it to an older guy and he hasn’t had one problem with it since I
repaired it.
Wife had a crown vic, until a dumptruck ran over the front end. Car would
haul ass
@civicboy123 Thank you! Me and a friend on Crownvic.net have been
discussing that same ticking sound finding out what it was. It is just that
light ticking sound you have at 2:40. Thanks again!
Is your alternator a 130 amp?
