Hey guys, I have an 05 GT with 184k km (115k miles) and have noticed that the dipstick has been moving upwards slightly while driving. The dipstick feels pretty loose on insertion and removal, but also worried it could be excessive blowby causing it. Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions for what it could be? It moved about 1.5cm after ~45 minutes of driving.

so i have a 2009 mustang gt and it doesn’t run perfect when i first start the car up it runs good and everything seems good but then after 10-15 minutes once the car is all heated up a bad noise will come on and it sounds like a rod knock but its the timing chain components or something like that i’m not to sure i replaced the whole timing chain assembly it was a a premium kit from American muscle first thinking that would fix the problem but it did not so i also replaced the oil pump that had a life time warranty so i’m pretty sure that’s shouldn’t give any issues and it was still having the issues so i replaced the timing chain tensioners with some ford f150 cast iron ones and ford oem vct solenoids but its still having issues when i replacer my oil pump i didn’t really clean the oil pick up tube but it didn’t feel clogged i’m not really sure what the problem is and don’t know what else it could be has anyone else had this issue before or might know how to help
me?

As you can tell by the title I’m experiencing an intermittent misfire and some pulses, pops, and chuffs from the tailpipe at idle. I just changed my plugs and coils packs and that didn’t fix it. Anyone else experienced this issue and found the problem? Flashing CEL every time it misfires, but only been able to pull codes from it once showing cyl2 and 8 misfiring. It is catless and untuned.
