The easiest way to figure out how bad the damage is , is to remove and cut open the oil filter. cut open the filter and remove about 1/3 the material. wrap with a rag and squeeze out the oil. Use a magnet and figure out how much Ferris and non-Ferris material you have (steel and copper/brass/alum). Not to much point going deeper if your don't have the ability to rebuild the engine. Yes can be a piston pin/bushing, rod bearing, bent rod, scored cylinder, or even a dusted engine (dirt that has been going down the intake) causing a piston slap. For the cost of about $8.00 you will have your answer.If no metal the greater chance it is piston slap.

Yup,sounds like you've got a connecting rod bearing on the way out.Keep driving it and you'll throw a piston rod thru the block.

i own a repair shop,and you probably wont see it either its coming from inside the engine and its probably a rod knocking in it,id be careful if i was driving it,it may throw the rod through the side of the engine ,they was real good for doing that,good luck i hope this helps,.

a rod bearing also check flywheel especially in automatic also check carrier bearing and universal joints

This is an easy answer.You need 3 things:1 (one) gallon of gasoline,1(one) book of matches,and full insurance coverage.Take the gallon of gasoline and pour on the crappy Ford,take 1 (one) match,light it and throw it at aforementioned Ford product and run.

sounds like a connecting rod, you wont see where the noise is coming from until its to late an it puts a hole in something, it also could be coming from a loose or worn out harmonic balancer.

a rod knock is interior engine work, and EXPENSIVE. unless you can do it yourself, the engine is likely kaput.
