What is this noise???!!!!

def the tensioners wore out , my 5.4 done this in my scab i had , costed $700 to fix it

 

I can get all new chains tensioner a an guides for $160. Then a day of work to replace shouldn't be bad

 

Fig did it make that exact noise when it happened to yours?

 

its a pita to do it , gotta pull valve covers and all!

yep except mine was a little louder , sounded like a rod knockin kinda

 

I read you can get away with just timing cover, basically not very hard just time consuming. Did you need the cam tools?

 

im down to help out man

 

I might be shooting you a text soon ha

 

hey if this goes smoothly we can replace my cam phasers and vct sensors

 

Yea but that's not always a fix for those, read that some of those replaced doesn't change the tick
