There should be a pop up on your end that you need to click on to accept my phone call offer. It will have my phone number in the offer. The number you are texting to is not my number. There is an additional cost for a phone call. Yes I'm confident I can help with this issue. If you don't see a pop-up, you will need to disable your pop-up blocker on your device.

Oh ok sorry I can't afford that right this second I'm sorry if u could continue to text plz

Sure thing. What exactly is your question regarding this noise?

Where would be sum possible locations where it could be coming from again this just happened out the blueI was hoping it's not a head gasket
Automotive Expert
This is a noise correct? Is it a ticking, clunking, banging or knocking? At what engine rpms does this occurs?

Between take off n 50mph and sounds like ticking maybe slight clunking from 30- 0
Automotive Expert
Ok are you sure it is not the [exhaust](/topics-exhaust-ford/)? If you are not sure, you may want to take a close look at the exhaust. This would be one possible cause. Another possible cause would be a lifter tick, main engine bearing, connecting rod, piston or [camshaft](/topics-camshaft-ford/). Your best bet would be to use a stethoscope in various places around the engine to help determine where the noise is coming from before tearing it apart.

Ok ok I'll check this is a big help
