Taking a chance on this truck with 5.4 tomorrow, there is an announcement of engine issue, has a misfire code and I hear a tick, not loud but it's there. Is this infamous for these motors?

Good afternoon,

Yes, it could be a bad camshaft or a bad valve.

Not a good idea to buy a money pit with the motor.
