Have a loud tick when warmed up. Moves with rpm except when slowing down in city it's at about 1100 rpm but ticks are much higher. Only time ticks higher than matched with rpm. Tried stethoscope and hear it more from high pressure fuel pump line near intake valley and at vaccum pump. Not very much at front near cam phasers or on top of coils or any of the valve covers. Unplugged hpfp to eliminate it's noice and ticking is still there. But not at hpfp. Pcvs are cleaned maps and plug gaps rechecked. Forscan lite shows 200psi high pressure side idle highest is 870 wot and about 70ish low pressure side. No codes either.
Vehicle background: Recently bought dirt cheap, 276,000 miles, oil changed twice now and using motorcraft filter/ 5w30, new plugs and gap is 29, transmission filter and fluid changes pan and magnets cleaned, brand new vacuum pump. Weep hole in use.
