Wicked sound from motor (not tick, need help)

[Tranzlucent]

After a pretty good run to 140 tonight. I pull back in and here this god awful tick. I thought, hmm, no clue what that is. Get out and look around and pop the hood. Sound goes with the rpms and sounds like it's coming from the back of the engine on the passenger side and is noticeably louder under the car. I haven't crawled under the car yet, but it's definitely loud. Any ideas?

Maybe you bent a push rod, or it's a lifter ticking

whats your build date/ miles?
talk to chris, he had this corrected.

When the hood is open, the car purs quietly and you hear
no ticking or anything. Once you shut the hood, you can hear
a ticking noise from the left side fenderwell. If you put the car
up on a lift, you can hear it even louder from the left side
around the transmission housing. According to the dealer,
Ford has just released a TSB for this problem. There was a
manufacturer defect with something in the timing gears or
drivetrain assembly on 2003 Cobra's. This same Cobra, from
what I was told, was also very weak. They said the car feel
off in power and they couldn't figure out the problem until just
the other day. The car went in for some work, they ran the
VIN for any TSB's, and none showed up. They had to order
parts and when the parts showed up they installed them and
reran the VIN for any possible TSB's. The service advisor told
me that the TSB states that the left cylinder head needs to be
replaced to correct this problem. After they fixed the problem,
they road tested the car and the power was 100% better
than before.
