No. Just no. Stop talking out your ass.Except for the scored and scratched cylinder walls and scuffed pistons.
'15 - '17 Coyotes have had the same problem.....just not as often.
Swap to the 7.3 and be piston slap free.
The tick noises often happen after the engine is warm, thus have no relation to piston slap. Oh master drag racer, do you have any experience with forged pistons?
Piston scuffing has only been seen in a handful of engines, and there is no correlation to engine tick. For example, there are a couple 18+ owners who had no tick, yet had slight scoring that they related to engine rattle at 2k rpm. However, some guys with the rattle have no scoring. Basically, no relation. Ford also released a TSB stating the tick was normal, and not related to any failures.
