knock coming from under the car

[jfolsom28]

I have this weird knock coming from umber the car after running it hard. It does it in neutral when I rev up the engine. Its no a engine knock. Its not that loud any ideas?

loose pressure plate?

 

[jfolsom28]

Woukd the pressure plate be moving if its in neutral tho?

If its still bolted to the flywheel, sure.

Though I believe a flywheel/pp issue would be noticeable with clutch action (and really seems to be more of an issue on the early coyote GT cars vs the boss cars, thanks to a couple extra bolts)

Its actually coming from under the valve cover

You better get to the dealer.

 

[jfolsom28]

Its definitely not a rod knock tho.

Igniter tick? If you want to check yourself and don't mind cutting up an ax belt, you can also see if it is coming from there. Mine does that but I don't have the covers so I hear all sorts of mechanical workings of this dohc beast

Dealership said it was "normal" for the new mustangs.

Couldn't also be valve clatter, doesn't the Boss have heavier springs.
