Do the valves on a 02 4.6 2v need to be adjusted at 55K? I hear lots of noise coming from the top of the motor when its cold, allot of chattering

Mobil1 synth 0-30 or 5-30. I change it every 3-5k miles with filter. I did just run half a can of seafoam in the oil for 500 miles or so. Man wasnt the oil black black black when I changed it.

Are you sure your factory chain tensioners arent taking a dump? I think they get kinda lazy with age, might be wrong though

not an easy thing, you'll have to remove the frt chian cvr Ford did put a cheaper plastic/nylon tensioners on the 4.6 in @2001 and there have been some issues, alot of people when they do a rebuild will get the older steel tensioners. did it make the noise before seafoaming?

Thanks Randy.


I could hear it before...it started getting noisy in the past 10k miles or so. I will have to make a quick video of it.
