Indeed.
How do you guys say this? It surely doesn't add to the post. Do you have experience in building 2018 coyotes? Several of the top engine builders have states that the clearances - specifically the rod side tonside clearance is too big. Which causes a sporadic tick. This is an oil forum and I'm trying to discuss some options that may help people out.
What do engine builders know anything about lubrication? The same 'experts" recommend using higher ZDDP levels in oils which were not used when the engine was new. When the builder you reference manufacturers, designs, engineers, and produces engines millions of engines at cost with a less then 2% failure I will believe their huey then.
