Does this engine sound like it has a problem?
I took my 2012 XFR to get a trade in offer from carmax today (long story) and they dinged me for an engine noise that they say could be valve or rod problems. The engine has sounded just like this for as long as I can remember, and I thought it was normal. The guy said he saw another supercharged 5.0 this week that was a 2010 or 11 and it had the same "problem" which also makes me think it's actually normal.
I'm still under the CPO warranty so I think I might take it in just to have them check and eat the diagnostic fee, but I figured someone here might have experience with this or know if it's normal, etc.
It's the tick-tick-tick-tick that changes with RPM.

I have a similar noise in my 2012 5.0 n/a. Been going on for a least 2 years. Dealer originally diagnosed it as a normal direct injection sound. I wasn't convinced and had them look at it again. Same diagnosis. My warranty is expiring so I asked them to check it out again. This time they agreed the noise was not normal. Jaguar has authorized a new head after trying a variety of fixes. Today is 5 weeks but the head was only authorized last week. Jaguar of Hartford has been fantastic to work with on this. Immediately provided me with a new XF loaner. No one wants a problem buts it's a lot easier to take when your dealer stands behind you.

Yep, that's about my guess... $10k. Water pump too, forgot that one haha. There's quite a list
On the bright side, it was all covered by CPO except for one vacuum hose, and all the fragile parts of the engine have now been replaced I think? I'm guessing that the supercharger itself is the only major part left that's likely to break.
