I have a 99 Taurus SHO with 58,000 miles and recently have noticed a ticking noise at idle. I know this is overhead cam but are they similar to other cars with hydraulic lifters? Could it be a bent pushrod or something? Hurc, any idea what this is? I'm stumped...

prolly normal injector noise go to lot and listen to another motor
use a long screwdriver put handle to ear and tip on various areas of engine to try to isolate
overhead cam rules out bent pushrods as well as u dident mention a miss

OHC has no pushrods or lifters. Is your oil full? When was it last changed?

Yea, it's a bent pushrod, fer sher. Common problem in Yamaha DOHC engines. Take it to your local Ford Service Department and have a Certified Master Technician replace it immediately.
