Re: Engine noise

3.1 are reknown for developping a piston slack knocking...almost a trade mark. It just sounds as shot connecting rod bearings . This has absolutely no consequence on safe and reliable engine operation...but it is really annoying and something you would not want others to hear for fear of comments.....
the 3.0 engine used in former Taurus had exactly same problem.
