If your Bullitt is not exhibiting the knocking/ticking problem, that's good. Looking at some of the answers back at the poll I made (not too many so far) the noise(s) can start at anytime. Considering you got on it from the start and you haven't experienced the problem may mean it won't occur. I know alot of people here say you should romp on them from the get go because they are broke in at the factory. I don't go along with this kind of thinking mainly because the factory will run an engine in, so to speak, for a period not considered break in time. As has been said before in earlier threads on break-in, the engine won't fully be broken in for around 6k. This has been demonstrated by dyno numbers that have been taken at various mileages. Romping on the engine from the very begining can cause the rings to burn and not seat. This will show itself eventually in the consumption of oil. However, this is only my opinion and my experience with customer oil consumption complaints over the years. Anyway, people will treat their cars however they feel they should be treated and some will be lucky on not have oil problems.
The reason I called for a poll on the knocking/ticking problem was to try to corelate some sort of relation in driving habits between people with this problem. Will have to see how many people take the poll then, may be a commonality of the problem will show itself. Just have to wait and see. :grin:
