Ford GEN2 Engine Start Up

[ryanj]

Looking into purchased GEN2 with about 50K Miles.... Any input that might be helpful with this cold start "clink" on 1st start up?

Thanks for your input GEN2 Owners regarding purchasing used GEN2

Sounds like something clanking against the turbo inlet pipes. Def not the timing chain rattle.

That single “clink” sound is the flywheel ring gear throwing the starter drive out of engagement. It means everything is clean and dry in that area as it should be. It all sounds normal to me. It does have the later ‘19+ engine cover, but it’s just for measured sound reduction as every sound is picked up by external microphones during EPA certification. “Noise” is a measured “emission”.

My 2018 sounds the same when doing a cold start. I have a buddy that has a 2019 Lariat and it sounds similar. I think it is just the ecoboost engine. Either that or we are all headed toward some sort of cataclysmic engine failure.....I joke!

Sounds like a Raptor.
